This reproduction of an entomological plate illustrates the remarkable cicada (Cicada speciosa). The image offers a precise study of the insect, including detailed views of the abdomen from the front and back, allowing the observation of the complex structures related to the anatomy of this singular species.
The work is extracted from the Dictionnaire Universel d'Histoire Naturelle directed by Charles d'Orbigny, published between 1841 and 1849. This documentary corpus is recognized for the finesse of its engravings, produced during a pivotal period when entomology sought to comprehensively and visually catalog the insect world.
Useful for documentary study or thematic decoration, this illustration invites the discovery of the life sciences. Its sober aesthetics and analytical approach make it a prime piece to enrich an iconographic collection dedicated to the curiosities of nature.
