Natural History for Every Estate
The title was a programme in itself: Oken's natural history addressed “all estates”, not only the learned at universities. In the 1843 atlas, botany received 22 plates of its own – an ambitious attempt to make natural science accessible through images, long before the modern school poster.

The story behind the motif
Poster with the illustration Oak plant - a beautiful German illustration with various plants and fruits from the 19th century. In the picture we see, among other things, lemons, pears and other popular fruits and plants.
Lorenz Oken, the artist behind the piece, was a prominent German naturalist and biologist. He collaborated with the engraver Johann Susemihl to produce a comprehensive encyclopedia called "Allgemeine Naturgeschichte für alle Stände" (General natural history for all classes of society) between 1839 and 1841.
The encyclopedia was published in seven volumes and its aim was to make science accessible and interesting to a wider audience by including illustrations of both animals and plants. These high-quality prints gave readers a visual understanding of the biodiversity that Oken explored and described.
Frame not included.
Please note that the images are cropped slightly differently depending on the size you choose. Read more about image and image quality here: FAQ.
