Sorry, we could not translate this listing to English.

This antique 1888 color lithograph by Th. M. M. van Grieken presents a refined Art Nouveau composition with golden water lilies (Nuphar lutea) and crayfish in a stylized aquatic scene. The symmetrical design blends natural elements with ornamental linework, set against a stylized sunset. Below, additional botanical flourishes—such as lily buds and irises—frame the composition with elegant curvilinear motifs.

Published in The plant in its ornamental treatment (1888) by J. H. van der Weijer, Groningen, this large-format lithograph (42 × 29.5 cm) reflects the Dutch Nieuwe Kunst movement, where natural forms were reimagined as decorative design for applied arts and interiors.

About Prints from Heaven

About the Prints
--------------------------------------
All prints have been carefully detached from their original medium (books). Prints from Heaven exclusively offers original prints, mostly from antique and vintage books, with no digital downloadable prints or copies. In some instances, there might be small (sometimes restored) damages such as holes, tears, stains, or wear spots. There might also be discolorations/patina due to the age of the prints. Therefore, please carefully review the various photos and detailed images for the most realistic representation possible.
Efforts have been made to scan the original prints to achieve as realistic an image as possible. However, the color of the original print may not match the original 100%. Prints may also come with an original fold in the middle of the page, as was present in the book.
In some cases, there may be text or another image on the back of the print.

Antique prints: > at least 100 years old
Vintage prints: > at least 30 years old

Packaging and Sending
--------------------------------------
All prints are meticulously packaged in recyclable acetate film, sealed with a strip to prevent dirt and moisture from entering. Please be careful with the strip when opening to avoid contact with the print.
Then, the prints are wrapped in colorful tissue paper and adorned with a classic seal, making them suitable for gifts.
The package is sent in a sturdy cardboard document envelope with a shipping label via the Dutch PostNL, including a track & trace code.
