This reproduction of a 19th-century conchology plate brings together several shell specimens, including the onion-peel Anomia as well as various terebratulae. The composition highlights the variety of forms, textures, and natural hues ranging from pearl gray to reddish-brown, characteristic of bivalves and gastropods.
Extracted from Charles d'Orbigny's Dictionnaire Universel d'Histoire Naturelle, this engraving bears witness to the rigor of malacological studies from the 1841-1849 period. The intention then was to propose an exhaustive visual classification for naturalists and scholars of the mid-century.
Prized for its documentary value and sober aesthetics, this antique illustration is suitable for marine science enthusiasts. It allows the rediscovery of historical plates formerly used for the identification of marine species in an academic and encyclopedic setting.
