Insekten Tafel 19
1929
Imagine a scientific diagram decided to go to a high-fashion runway. Emile-Allain Séguy, a French entomologist and artist, created this stunning vertical stack of grasshoppers and locusts for his famous 1929 portfolio 'Insectes.' Blending Art Nouveau elegance with scientific precision, he gave these bugs vibrant, stylized wings with patterns that look like stained glass or exotic textiles. It’s a perfect blend of biology and design, originally intended to inspire fabric makers and decorators of the Jazz Age who were obsessed with nature motifs.
