Seguir leyendoInsecta Diptera Pl 11 (1879) by Frederick DuCane Godman is a finely observed Victorian zoological illustration that captures the era’s devotion to cataloguing nature with elegance and rigor. Though Godman is celebrated primarily as an English naturalist and collector, this plate reveals the refined printmaking and careful observation that underpinned late 19th-century scientific study. The composition presents multiple fly specimens with measured precision: crisp outlines, delicately rendered wing venation, and small anatomical details that prioritize structure, pattern, and taxonomy over narrative flourish—an approach that epitomized the period’s fascination with ordering the natural world.
Offered here as a high-quality fine art print, your piece is produced on museum-grade, acid-free archival paper or on artist’s cotton canvas for a tactile, gallery-worthy finish. The Unique Maps Co. offers a range of sizes to suit intimate nooks or statement walls, as well as professional framing in classic or contemporary profiles. Personalization options include custom captions, margin and border adjustments, and curatorial guidance on pairing and placement—so you can tailor the presentation to your space and style.
About the artist: Frederick DuCane Godman (1834–1919) was a pivotal figure in Victorian natural history, renowned for his collecting, scholarship, and stewardship of large scientific projects. His work helped advance taxonomy during a period of extraordinary exploration and classification, and plates like this—while often created in collaboration with specialist draftspeople and printers—reflect his discerning eye for the visual clarity needed to describe species accurately to scientists and the public alike.
Why this subject matters: Diptera (the order of true flies) encompasses an astonishing diversity of forms, behaviors, and ecological roles. In the 19th century, illustrating these insects with precision was essential for identifying species, comparing their anatomical structures, and standardizing scientific language across countries and institutions. This plate embodies that mission: it juxtaposes full-body depictions with closely cropped anatomical sections to reveal defining traits—an approach that turned complex morphology into legible, teachable images.
Design and color: Set against a luminous white ground, the specimens are articulated with a restrained palette of muted greens, warm browns, and sunlit yellows, accented by gentle beige washes. The fine, disciplined linework emphasizes venation, segment articulation, and subtle patterning while preserving airiness and balance. Presented in calm, orderly rows and supported by discrete anatomical vignettes, the composition has a timeless clarity that suits both classic libraries and contemporary interiors—equally at home above a writing desk, in a study, or as part of a natural history gallery wall.
This print makes a thoughtful gift for entomologists and nature lovers, as well as for teachers, graduates in the sciences, and anyone who appreciates Victorian design. It’s a refined choice for Christmas, Father’s Day, Mother’s Day, a housewarming, or to celebrate a new home office or studio.
If you're not sure what size to order, or you're looking for a custom order of some kind – a different size, a different colour, a special frame – then please contact me. I usually respond within a few minutes.
You can see an example of my fine art personalisation service in the fifth image. Zoom in and take a look. My personalised artwork is always very well received. Take a look at more examples of personalisation.
You can also choose to age your art print to make it look older. This is popular amongst my customers who want their artwork to look like an older, antique print. You can see an example of ageing in the sixth product image, or go ahead and check out lots of examples of other aged artwork.
The model in the listing images is holding the 18x24in (45x60cm) version of this art print.
I can print and frame this beautiful piece of art at sizes up to 3 metres (10ft). If you are looking for a size or framing option that isn't available online, please get in touch.
This artwork is available as a giclée print on acid free archival matte paper, or you can buy it framed. My standard frames come in six colours (black, dark brown, dark grey, antique gold, oak and white), and custom framing is available for an additional charge. My frames are glazed with super-clear museum-grade acrylic (perspex/acrylite), which is significantly less reflective than glass, safer, and will always arrive in perfect condition.
This artwork is also available as a float framed canvas, sometimes known as a shadow gap framed canvas or canvas floater. The work is printed on artist's cotton canvas and then stretched over a handmade box frame. We then "float" the canvas inside a wooden frame, which is available in a range of colours (black, dark brown, oak, antique gold and white). This is a wonderful way to present an art print without glazing in front. See some examples of float framed canvas art and explore the differences between my different finishes.

Mi marco estándar es un marco de madera de fresno negro estilo galería. Es simple y tiene un aspecto bastante moderno. Mi marco estándar tiene alrededor de 20 mm (0.8 in) de ancho.
Utilizo acrílico super claro (perspex/acrylite) para el vidrio del marco. Es más ligero y seguro que el vidrio, y se ve mejor, ya que la reflectividad es menor.
Seis colores de marco estándar están disponibles de forma gratuita (negro, marrón oscuro, gris oscuro, roble, blanco y oro antiguo).El enmarcado y montaje/matizado personalizado está disponible si buscas algo diferente.
La mayoría de los mapas, arte e ilustraciones también están disponibles como un lienzo enmarcado. Utilizamos lienzo de algodón mate (no brillante), lo estiramos sobre un marco de madera de caja de origen sostenible, y luego 'flotamos' la pieza dentro de un marco de madera. El resultado final es bastante hermoso, y no hay cristal que se interponga.
Todos los marcos se proporcionan "listos para colgar", con una cuerda o soportes en la parte posterior. Los marcos muy grandes tendrán placas de colgar de alta resistencia y/o un listón de montaje. Si tienes alguna pregunta, por favor ponte en contacto.
Mira algunos ejemplos de mis mapas enmarcados y mapas en lienzo enmarcados.
Alternativamente, también puedo proporcionar mapas antiguos y obras de arte en lienzo, tablero de espuma, papel de algodón y otros materiales.
Si deseas enmarcar tu mapa o obra de arte tú mismo, por favor lee mi guía de tamaños primero.
