Oliver Goldsmith's Animated Nature

Bring History to Your Walls — Original Art from Goldsmith’s Animated Nature

Add timeless charm to your space with original wall art sourced from the beautifully illustrated Animated Nature by Oliver Goldsmith. These authentic colour plates, carefully removed from antique editions of the book, showcase the exquisite detail and vibrant tones of 18th- and 19th-century natural history illustration.

Each piece is a one-of-a-kind work of art, capturing the wonder of the natural world as seen through the eyes of early scientific explorers. Printed on aged paper with rich patina, these plates feature animals, birds, and scenes from nature in stunning hand-colored detail — perfect for collectors, design lovers, or anyone seeking a unique touch of vintage elegance.

Whether displayed alone or as part of a gallery wall, these original prints tell a story of curiosity, craftsmanship, and natural beauty.

What is Visual Artwork?

Visual artwork refers to any piece of art created primarily to be seen — such as drawings, paintings, prints, illustrations, and mixed media. In our shop, this includes original antique prints, book plates, and hand-colored illustrations that were designed to be both informative and beautiful. These artworks often come from historic books and publications and are perfect for display as unique wall décor.
