This reproduction presents a precise entomological study of several insects, with a particular focus on the Ctenophora flaveolata. The illustration, of great finesse, details the morphology of various Diptera, revealing the complexity of wing structures and appendages on a sober background characteristic of scholarly plates.
The original document belongs to the Dictionnaire Universel d'Histoire Naturelle, directed by Charles d'Orbigny in the mid-19th century. This work is emblematic of an era when the inventory of living things involved rigorous observation and graphic transcription of extreme precision, combining science and the art of engraving.
Intended for entomology enthusiasts and erudite decor, this naturalist illustration lends itself to meticulous observation. It constitutes a historical testimony of biological classification and integrates perfectly into a thematic collection or a contemporary cabinet of curiosities.
