A vibrant reworking of Charles D’Orbigny’s 19th-century lobster illustration, digitally enhanced from our 1892 edition—where vintage natural history meets bold contemporary coastal style.
A striking reimagining of Crimson Crawfish (Palemon Ornatum), originally illustrated by Charles Dessalines D’Orbigny (1806–1876). This vibrant artwork has been digitally enhanced and reworked breathing new life into a historic scientific illustration.
The piece celebrates the beauty and symmetry of marine life with bold detail and rich indigo tones, offset by the warm cream background. Perfect for adding a splash of colour and curiosity to coastal interiors, natural history collections, or eclectic modern spaces.
Each print retains the character of the original antique engraving while offering a contemporary twist—part vintage science, part oceanic rock star
