나비 도판01 by Emile-Allain Séguy, 1920

Step into the vibrant world of 1920s design with this stunning plate from Emile-Allain Séguy’s famous 'Papillons' portfolio. As a trained entomologist, Séguy didn't just document nature; he transformed these insects into graphic design icons using a technique called pochoir, or hand-stenciling. Look at those bold, flat blocks of emerald green and sunshine yellow against the deep black—they look almost like stained glass! These prints were wildly popular in the Art Deco era, serving as endless inspiration for fashion designers and textile makers looking for the perfect exotic pattern.
