Snake Viper (1810)
John Wilkes was a notable early 19th century illustrator and publisher, known for his detailed and accurate depictions of nature. His 1810 work "Snake Viper" is a prime example of his ability to capture the intricacies and beauty of nature. This illustration depicts a viper in all its scaly glory, with an impressive level of accuracy that captivates both scientists and art lovers alike. Wilkes' work was often found in natural science books aimed at spreading knowledge about the world's flora and fauna.
Interesting fact: John Wilkes was not only a talented illustrator, but also a passionate publisher who was committed to spreading knowledge. What many do not know is that he lived at a time when science was just beginning to be systematically documented. His works were instrumental in sparking and promoting interest in natural history. Wilkes was also known for his love of botany and zoology, which is reflected in the attention to detail of his illustrations. His work can still be found in many natural history collections today and is valued for its artistic and scientific significance.

Print Quality & Material
We believe that art has the power to inspire the mind, tell stories and transform spaces.
That's why we put our hearts into every step of the printing process to ensure that every work we produce meets the highest artistic standards.
printing process
Our fine art giclée printers use 12 different ink tanks and produce museum-quality art prints. Thanks to specially pigmented inks, significantly more color nuances can be displayed than with conventional printing processes and other providers.
Print medium
We use extra-heavy (400g/m2) premium canvas made from 100% cotton. The high grammage and texture of the canvas ensures a particularly high-quality and almost three-dimensional appearance.
Environmentally friendly
We only use original and high-quality pigment ink which contains real pigment particles. This is UV-resistant, solvent-free, vegan and environmentally friendly.
UV & moisture resistant
Thanks to the UV resistance of our pigment inks, the prints do not fade or discolor and retain their color brilliance for up to 100 years.
