{"product_id":"mites-acaridea-by-frederick-ducane-godman-1879","title":"Mites (Acaridea, Plate 3) by Frederick DuCane Godman, 1879","description":"\u003cp\u003eArachnida Acaridea Pl 03 (1879) by Frederick DuCane Godman is a meticulous Victorian zoological illustration that captures the era’s devotion to observation and classification. An English naturalist and scholar celebrated for his work in zoology and entomology, Godman presented this plate as part of late-19th-century arachnid studies, where clarity, accuracy, and utility for comparison were paramount. Rather than seeking drama, the composition privileges structure and detail—an elegant record intended for the scientific reader and the curious public alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis listing offers a museum-quality fine art print of Arachnida Acaridea Pl 03, produced with archival pigment inks on your choice of acid-free art paper or artist’s cotton canvas. Available in a range of sizes, it can be ordered unframed or framed to gallery standards, with custom matting and conservation glazing options. The Unique Maps Co. also provides personalization—such as tailored sizing, margin adjustments, captioning with artist\/date, and bespoke frame finishes—to suit your space and style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout the artist: Frederick DuCane Godman (1834–1919) was an influential English naturalist who helped popularize rigorous scientific publishing during the Victorian period. His work, patronage, and editorial oversight were instrumental in advancing zoological knowledge and in fostering the richly illustrated volumes that defined the era’s natural history scholarship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout the subject: The plate focuses on Acaridea—mites within the class Arachnida—arranged for comparative study. Its careful, diagram-like organization reflects the period’s expanding efforts to classify the natural world, making the image as instructive as it is beautiful. By placing select specimens in full color and surrounding them with precise monochrome studies, the plate invites close reading of anatomical distinctions that would have aided identification and taxonomy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout the style and design: On a crisp white field, red and pink tonalities highlight the principal arachnids, while delicate stippling, hatching, and fine line work articulate form and texture. The interplay of colored figures against restrained monochrome sketches creates a balanced visual rhythm that feels both scholarly and refined. This understated palette and exacting draftsmanship make the print a timeless addition to a study, library, or modern interior—perfect for anyone drawn to the intersection of art and science.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThoughtful and educational, this print makes a distinguished gift for naturalists and design lovers alike—ideal for Christmas, birthdays, graduations in the sciences, Father’s or Mother’s Day, housewarmings, or for anyone who treasures the quiet beauty of Victorian scientific illustration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you're not sure what size to order, or you're looking for a custom order of some kind \u003cspan\u003e–\u003c\/span\u003e a different size, a different colour, a special frame \u003cspan\u003e–\u003c\/span\u003e then please \u003ca href=\"\/es\/pages\/contact-us\"\u003econtact me\u003c\/a\u003e.
