This reproduction of an entomological illustration features the Hyllus beetle and the long-legged Chrysophora. These figures are taken from the scientific corpus of Charles d'Orbigny, published in the 19th century under the title Dictionnaire Universel d'Histoire Naturelle.
The iconography of this plate highlights the diversity of beetles. The visual rendering favors descriptive clarity, isolating the insects to appreciate their iridescent colors and complex shapes. It is a precious testimony to the art of engraving in the service of taxonomy and quality scientific popularization.
This antique poster is perfectly suited to form a thematic set of the cabinet of curiosities type. It offers a historical look at entomology and constitutes a sober decoration element for lovers of natural sciences and period illustrations.
