1920
Emile-Allain Séguy, a French entomologist and artist, created this stunning plate of butterflies in 1920 as part of his famous 'Papillons' portfolio. Notice the bold, graphic lines and vibrant colors—black, teal, orange, and white—that make these insects look almost like decorative patterns rather than scientific specimens. Blending natural history with Art Nouveau aesthetics, this work was part of a larger trend where scientific illustrations doubled as inspiration for textile and wallpaper designers. Each butterfly is carefully numbered, showing off the unique wing patterns of different species in a way that feels both scientific and purely artistic.
