This reproduction of a naturalistic plate gathers several mollusk specimens, including the blunt mya and the blunt anatine. The illustration presents the shells from various angles to reveal their internal and external structure. Shades of beige, brown, and pink highlight the delicacy of these marine forms in a careful composition.
The plate is taken from the monumental Dictionnaire Universel d'Histoire Naturelle directed by Charles d'Orbigny in the mid-19th century. This malacological inventory work aimed to offer an exhaustive visual synthesis of the diversity of known shells, combining descriptive precision with documentary aesthetics.
Intended for collectors and lovers of marine themes, this reproduction allows one to appreciate the finesse of the antique engraving. It finds its place in an interior dedicated to natural sciences or to create a visual point of interest inspired by the coastline.
