The Victorian Entomology Cabinet

Open the heavy glazed drawers of The Victorian Entomology Cabinet! Featuring 90+ high-resolution transparent PNG illustrations celebrating the rich scientific aesthetic of 19th-century naturalists, taxidermists, and collectors of the Wunderkammer: velvety Death's-Head hawkmoths, shimmering Blue Morpho butterflies, emerald swallowtails, giant Goliath beetles, antlered stag beetles, mirror-sheen golden scarabs, gossamer dragonflies, orchid mantises, pinned specimen cork boards, blown-glass bell jar cloches, brass monocular microscopes, setting tweezers, and British Museum specimen tags.

Rendered in authentic 19th-century scientific watercolor folio aesthetics with delicate graphite and sepia linework, each graphic features rich textured washes of moth charcoal, iridescent cobalt blue, jewel beetle emerald, copper, mahogany, brass, and aged vellum.
