Bio
Hi I'm Minnie from Swanborough Prints. I have worked with and collected Antique Natural History prints and engravings for over 30 years. Collecting interesting and unusual Antique Prints is a passion for myself and my husband. Most Antique prints before 1850 were printed in black and white, not really great if you had bought an engraved Botanical flower print. This lead to a need for hand painted engravings, often done by the artist, but generally trained women were taught Watercolor skills to hand paint them. This skill was handed down to us both, over 25 years ago, and we still paint Natural History engravings for our clients every day. But now we also sell our own hand drawn and watercolored Natural History Original Artwork too. Hope you enjoy our Blog, looking forward to meeting you.....all the best
