This reproduction of a naturalist plate is dedicated to the Goliath cacicus (Goliathus cacicus). It belongs to the iconographic collection of the Dictionnaire Universel d'Histoire Naturelle, a major work directed by Charles d'Orbigny between 1841 and 1849 to document global fauna.
The composition of the plate allows one to admire the structure of the insect and the finesse of its ornamentations. The graphic style, typical of the 19th century, combines didactic intent with undeniable visual precision, highlighting the chromatic contrasts between black and orange specific to this giant beetle.
This ancient illustration is an object of study as well as a decorative element. It is aimed at those who wish to integrate a part of scientific history into their space, thus valuing naturalist heritage and the know-how of romantic-era engravers.
