This reproduction presents a naturalist plate gathering several butterfly species, including the Morpho adonis recognizable by its brilliant blue hues. The illustration, extracted from Charles d'Orbigny's documentary fund, also details a Pavonia as well as a specimen with black and yellow wings, offering an overview of the diversity of tropical lepidoptera.
Produced for the Dictionnaire Universel d'Histoire Naturelle in the mid-19th century, this work bears witness to the scientific synthesis effort of the era. The finesse of the engraving allows observation of the hierarchy of ocelli and the delicate structure of the wings, characteristics of the French encyclopedic style.
This poster is particularly suitable for the creation of a modern cabinet of curiosities. It offers a clear reading of insect morphology while bringing a historical and scientific note to an interior space.
