This reproduction of an ancient illustration features a selection of lepidoptera, notably the Charaxes zingha and the Papilio blumei, taken from the work of Émile-Allain Séguy. The plate is distinguished by a precise chromatic study where greens, blues, and oranges harmonize on a neutral background, highlighting the symmetry and complexity of the wings.
The original work, conceived around 1920-1926, illustrates the use of the stencil in art publishing of this period. Séguy combines entomological rigor and decorative vision, creating a bridge between natural science and applied arts. His work remains a major testimony to the ornamental aesthetic of the early 20th century.
Intended to be observed for its fineness of detail, this illustration integrates harmoniously into a collection of naturalist prints. Its utility value lies in the contemplation of biological diversity sublimated by the illustrator's talent.
