What strange worlds of spiders, scorpions and mites were revealed by nineteenth-century zoology?

Original antique black-and-white zoological plate titled “Spinnentiere.” from Meyers Konversations-Lexikon, 4th edition, Band 15, 1889. The plate presents a detailed scientific survey of arachnids and related arthropods, including spiders, a tarantula, scorpions, a pseudoscorpion, ticks and mites, with enlarged anatomical details and eye arrangements.

A distinctive late nineteenth-century natural-history illustration, particularly suitable for collectors of arachnology, zoology, antique scientific prints and unusual natural-history subjects.

The sheet is in good overall visible condition, with a pronounced original central vertical fold, light age toning and minor edge and handling wear. The printed figures and German captions remain strong and clearly legible.

Original antique print, not a modern reproduction.
