A beautiful lamia from the Romantic era, from the 'Bilderbuch für Kinder' by Friedrich Johann Justin Bertuch. Bertuch was a German publisher and patron of the arts. He printed the Bilderbuch für Kinder between 1790 and 1830 in 12 volumes. An educational work, it appeared in monthly installments and aimed to "spread the knowledge of the epochs out before children" with 1185 pages and 6000 illustrations. Phoenix represents renewal, rebirth, resurrection, and for many is a symbol of new beginnings.
 
All of our reproductions are done on hand-processed paper, illuminated with gold paint and finished with beeswax, giving them a real parchment-like look. Actual colors may vary a bit due to different monitors displaying colors differently. The size of the print is 25x35 cm.
