This naturalist plate reproduction highlights the versicolor poecilosoma as well as other beetle specimens such as Desmarest's calocome and the hairy-antenna lophonocerus. The illustration, of great entomological precision, presents four numbered insects accompanied by detailed studies of their mouthparts. The technical line emphasizes the complex structure of the shells and antennae of these longhorn beetles.
The original work is extracted from the Dictionnaire Universel d'Histoire Naturelle, directed by Charles d'Orbigny between 1841 and 1849. This 19th-century encyclopedic work is recognized for the rigor of its scientific syntheses and the quality of its steel engravings. The composition reflects the didactic intention of the era, combining rigorous observation and classical aesthetics of biological classification.
This antique illustration lends itself particularly well to the creation of a cabinet of curiosities or interior decoration focused on natural sciences. Its thematic richness allows for prolonged observation of anatomical details, offering historical testimony on the evolution of entomology and the art of scientific illustration.
