This reproduction of a scientific plate presents a rigorous selection of shells, including the scabrous mitre. Each specimen is depicted with great fineness of line, highlighting the textures, patterns, and helical shapes characteristic of these marine mollusks from various regions of the globe.
Taken from Charles d'Orbigny's famous Universal Dictionary of Natural History, published in the mid-19th century, this work illustrates the excellence of French naturalist engraving. It documents the diversity of malacology through a methodical visual inventory, combining graphic aesthetics and encyclopedic intent characteristic of the spirit of the era.
Ideal for thematic study or cabinet of curiosities-inspired decoration, this antique plate invites careful observation. It constitutes a precious historical testimony to zoological classification and the formal beauty of natural biological structures.
