This reproduction features a selection of butterflies with richly ornamented wings, including the species Heliconis acis and Stichophthalma camadeva. The plate displays complex patterns combining bright yellow, brown, and touches of red on stylized silhouettes. The composition highlights the graphic strength of the ocelli and borders, offering a structured and artistic vision of entomology.

Émile-Allain Séguy created these studies for his pattern albums published during the Art Deco period (1920-1926). His intention was to transform natural richness into a catalog of forms usable by artists and decorators. The use of saturated colors and clean lines makes this plate a significant example of scientific illustration in the service of modern ornamentation.

This visual document is particularly suitable for the study of graphic arts or the decoration of a workspace. It allows one to appreciate the aesthetic transition towards modernity while retaining the documentary charm of ancient naturalist plates.
