Collection: Maximus Gallery Collections

The Museum’s collection of more than 3,500 engravings and lithographs represent a sampling of European and American natural history illustrations from the 17th to 19th centuries. Originally intended for scientific identification, as printing methods improved and more artists were involved, these prints became sought after for their intrinsic beauty, a blend of art and science.

In our Museum Store, we feature some take home iterations of our beloved prints featured in our John and Peggy Maximus Gallery.
