About this illustration
This natural-history illustration shows Hymenoptera from J. H. Sulzer’s Abgekürzte Geschichte der Insecten (Winterthur, 1776), engraved by J. R. Schellenberg and often issued hand-colored. You can see every small line in the insect wings, legs, and antennae, so it reads clearly as wall art and fits well in natural-history home decor.
Craft & finishOur entomology print is made on hand-processed paper, highlighted with subtle gold and sealed with beeswax for an authentic parchment feel. Please note that colors can look slightly different from screen to screen.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS:
In case your print creases during the travel, as it usually does travel for some time, you can safely warm it up with a hair-dryer, and the wax will melt back right into it. You can also use a lighter, which is a much faster method, but be careful to keep the flame either above the paper or parallel to it (which means holding the paper vertically) so it doesn't smudge or even catch fire. The chance of the print actually creasing is very small, as they are rolled in bubble-wrap and shipped in a cardboard box. Also, be sure to keep the print out of the direct sunlight, as it can melt or fade.
