Continuer la lectureFrederick DuCane Godman’s Insecta Coleoptera Pl. 100 (1879) is a quintessential Victorian zoological illustration, created at a moment when natural history and the fine arts moved in step. An English naturalist and collector, Godman devoted himself to the rigorous documentation of the natural world, and this late-19th-century plate distills that spirit of inquiry. The composition presents several beetles (Order Coleoptera) with measured, observational clarity, each form carefully rendered to aid scientific study while quietly celebrating the graphic beauty of insect anatomy.
This listing offers a museum-quality fine art print of Godman’s plate, produced on your choice of acid-free, archival paper or artist’s cotton canvas. The Unique Maps Co. prints to order in a range of standard and custom sizes, with optional framing and matting to suit classic or contemporary interiors. Personalization is available—add a title line, dedication, or date for a gift-ready presentation—along with bespoke sizing and colour-matched framing recommendations.
About the artist: Godman was a leading figure in Victorian natural history, known for building collections and supporting scholarly catalogues that set new standards for accuracy. His work bridged field observation, taxonomy, and the publishing of illustrated reference volumes, helping to place finely engraved plates at the heart of scientific communication. In Godman’s hands, the illustrated page becomes both a record and a refined object.
About the subject: Coleoptera—beetles—represent the most diverse order in the animal kingdom, and 19th-century scholars prized them for the comparative insights they offered into morphology and classification. This plate reflects that scholarly purpose: it isolates specimens against a clean ground, uses figure numbers and discrete notations as navigational aids, and privileges the legible silhouette of each beetle’s form. The result is an image that remains invaluable to the history of entomology and exemplary of how art once functioned as a precise scientific tool.
About the design: Against a warm, beige paper tone, the beetles appear in velvety blacks with restrained hints of russet and brown, emphasizing the sheen of the elytra, the segmented precision of abdomen and thorax, and the splayed articulation of antennae and tarsi. Fine, confident linework and a limited palette concentrate attention on structure—smooth carapaces, subtle texturing, and carefully balanced proportions. It is this unity of accuracy and elegance that makes the plate a compelling wall piece: graphic, minimal, and timelessly modern despite its Victorian origin.
This print makes a thoughtful gift for naturalists, entomology lovers, and collectors of scientific ephemera, as well as a distinctive choice for study walls, libraries, and nurseries with a nature theme. Ideal for birthdays, graduations, housewarmings, Father’s or Mother’s Day, and Christmas—or for anyone recently returned from a museum or natural history trip, inspired to bring a piece of that curiosity home.
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.

Veuillez noter que les grandes commandes encadrées prennent généralement plus de temps à réaliser et à livrer.

Mon cadre standard est un cadre en bois dur noir de style galerie. Il est simple et a un aspect assez moderne. Mon cadre standard mesure environ 20 mm (0,8 po) de large.
J'utilise de l'acrylique super clair (perspex/acrylite) pour le verre du cadre. C'est plus léger et plus sûr que le verre - et cela a meilleur aspect, car la réflexivité est plus faible.
Six couleurs de cadre standard sont disponibles gratuitement (noir, marron foncé, gris foncé, chêne, blanc et or antique). Des encadrements et montages/matelassages personnalisés sont disponibles si vous recherchez autre chose.
La plupart des cartes, œuvres d'art et illustrations sont également disponibles sous forme de toile encadrée. Nous utilisons une toile en coton mate (non brillante), que nous tendons sur un cadre en bois de boîte provenant de sources durables, puis nous 'flottions' la pièce à l'intérieur d'un cadre en bois. Le résultat final est assez beau, et il n'y a pas de vitrage qui gêne.
Tous les cadres sont fournis "prêts à accrocher", avec soit une corde, soit des supports à l'arrière. Les très grands cadres auront des plaques de suspension lourdes et/ou une latte de montage. Si vous avez des questions, veuillez nous contacter.
Voir quelques exemples de mes cartes encadrées et de cartes en toile encadrées.
Alternativement, je peux également fournir de vieilles cartes et œuvres d'art sur toile, sur panneau en mousse, en coton et d'autres matériaux.
Si vous souhaitez encadrer votre carte ou œuvre d'art vous-même, veuillez lire d'abord mon guide des tailles.
Chaque impression artistique restaurée commence par l’œuvre originale de l’artiste — jamais par un substitut généré par IA.
Notre atelier de Londres travaille à partir de documents source soigneusement sélectionnés dans des musées, bibliothèques, archives et collections privées. Nous restaurons les dommages liés à l’âge, les couleurs passées et les défauts de reproduction, tout en préservant la composition, les coups de pinceau, le trait, la texture et le caractère d’époque de l’artiste.
Nous n’utilisons pas d’IA générative pour redessiner, réinterpréter ou inventer l’œuvre. La restauration numérique est utilisée uniquement pour récupérer et reproduire l’œuvre originale aussi fidèlement que possible.
Une fois restaurée, l’œuvre maîtresse est préparée dans le format et la finition que vous avez choisis. Votre pièce est ensuite imprimée et, le cas échéant, encadrée à proximité de sa destination de livraison.
Nos impressions d’art giclée utilisent un papier mat d’archivage sans acide de 200 g/m² et des encres pigmentaires résistantes à la décoloration pour une finition riche, digne d’un musée. Les impressions d’art encadrées utilisent un acrylique optique cristallin et arrivent prêtes à être accrochées.
Des toiles encadrées et des éditions spécialisées sur papier coton-rag sont également disponibles. En savoir plus sur nos matériaux et finitions.
