This reproduction of a scientific plate is taken from the famous Dictionnaire Universel d'Histoire Naturelle directed by Charles d'Orbigny. It accurately illustrates the angular sea anemone as well as various alcyonian and zoanthid polyps, bearing witness to the wealth of marine ecosystems observed in the 19th century.
The original work, published between 1841 and 1849, is part of a monumental effort in scientific synthesis from the Victorian era. The graphic style, typical of the French school of naturalist engraving, favors clarity of line and the accuracy of orange and beige hues to emphasize the complex morphology of these invertebrate organisms.
Intended for lovers of natural history and erudite decoration, this antique illustration brings a documentary and aesthetic dimension to any collection space. It allows one to appreciate the finesse of classic biological studies through an object of historical contemplation.
