Collection: 1905 Zoographia Infinita

Discover our curated selection of original chromolithographs by the celebrated German ornithologist and artist Othmar Kleinschmidt (1870–1954). Primarily sourced from his monumental series Berajah, Zoographia Infinita (published 1905–1937), these plates represent a pinnacle of early 20th-century scientific illustration.

Kleinschmidt was more than an artist; he was a revolutionary thinker in biology, known for his Formenkreis (superspecies) theory. His work sought to document the infinite variety of nature with a level of anatomical detail and colour accuracy that remains breathtaking over a century later.
