Couldn't load pickup availability
This reproduction presents an entomological study plate from Émile-Allain Séguy's ornamentation collections. The illustration features specimens such as the Papilio phloxenus and the Troides priamus-poseidon, captured in a balanced composition. The precision of the line highlights the complex structure of the wings and the chromatic hierarchy typical of natural history plates from this period.
Published around 1920-1926, this work is part of the Art Deco movement where Séguy used the stencil technique to magnify living nature. The editorial intention aimed to provide artisans and decorators with a repertoire of geometric shapes and patterns drawn directly from the scientific observation of lepidoptera, reflecting a modern vision of natural history.
This ancient illustration is aimed at enthusiasts of graphic design and entomology. It can be viewed as a technical document or integrated into a decorative ensemble for its historical value and singular aesthetic strength.
