This reproduction of a naturalist plate highlights the Mygale de Quoy alongside the Scytodes thoracica. The illustration, of great graphic precision, details the anatomical structures of these arachnids, notably the mandibles and palps, against a sober background characteristic of 19th-century scholarly studies.
The original document belongs to the Dictionnaire Universel d'Histoire Naturelle directed by Charles d'Orbigny between 1841 and 1849. This work is recognized as a pinnacle of scientific iconography, combining rigorous observation of living organisms with exceptional mastery of engraving, reflecting the encyclopedic ambition of the era.
Intended for arachnology enthusiasts and lovers of the history of science, this illustration integrates perfectly into a documentary collection. It offers a historical perspective on the classification of species and bears witness to the erudition and finesse of the naturalists of the romantic era.
