Insects Plate 12
1929
French entomologist and artist Emile-Allain Séguy turned scientific observation into pure visual candy with this 1929 masterpiece. The image showcases a dazzling collection of cicadas, their wings spread like stained glass windows in shades of emerald, amber, and charcoal. Originally published in a book simply titled 'Insectes', these plates were intended as inspiration for textile and wallpaper designers of the Art Deco era. It is a perfect blend of biology and fashion, proving that nature is the ultimate pattern maker.
