This reproduction of a 19th-century engraving illustrates the Attacus aurota, a lepidopteran remarkable for its wingspan and complex wing patterns. Taken from the Dictionnaire Universel d’Histoire Naturelle, the plate highlights the shades of brown, orange, and white characteristic of this moth, now identified under the name Atlas.
Charles d’Orbigny's editorial work between 1841 and 1849 made it possible to document biodiversity with rare scientific precision. This print reflects the aesthetics of period encyclopedic works, where line rigor combines with a faithful chromatic study of the biological world.
Intended for enthusiasts of entomology and scientific iconography, this plate fits perfectly into a collection or thematic wall decoration. It constitutes a precious visual testimony on the historical classification of species.
