Conceived under the scientific direction of Charles d'Orbigny between 1841 and 1849, this engraving illustrates the care given to representing global biological diversity in the 19th century. The style is characterized by a clear visual hierarchy, where fidelity to the subject takes precedence over ornamentation. Each engraving stroke is designed to translate biological reality with timeless elegance.
