A lovely engraving showing a group of sticklebacks - Sea-stickleback (top), Nine-spined stickleback (middle) and Three-spined stickleback (bottom). 'Sticklebacks are extremely pugnacious, and at the same time highly voracious fishes, the males engaging in fierce conflicts with one another, while both sexes consume a vast quantity of the fry of other fish, and are, therefore, most objectionable denizens of preserved waters. It is not, indeed that a single stickleback can do a very great deal of harm, but the mischief results from the enormous numbers of these little marauders.' (1894) We specialise in decorative antique and vintage prints. Many of our prints are one-offs which you may never see again. All are of limited availability and second copies are often quite hard to find. Mounts are hand cut to suit each print and the result is unique; ready to decorate your home, or ideal to give as a gift.

Any blemishes that are noteworthy are described and shown in the picture where possible. Colours will vary slightly depending on your monitor Also Please Note: The watermark in the bottom right hand corner of the image does not appear on the print itself.
