This reproduction of entomology presents a set of nine beetle specimens, with the remarkable Chinese Cicindela at the center. The plate stands out for the vibrancy of the colors and the precision of the details on the elytra and limbs, offering a representative panorama of the diversity of this insect order.
The illustration is taken from Charles d'Orbigny's Dictionnaire Universel d'Histoire Naturelle, published in the 19th century. This masterly work illustrates the transition toward a modern approach to natural history, where imagery becomes a tool for transmitting universal knowledge, carried by exceptional engravers.
Intended for nature enthusiasts and historical objects, this document approaches biodiversity from an academic angle. This plate fits into a collection or thematic decoration approach centered on encyclopedic knowledge and naturalist aesthetics.
