Schmetterlinge Tafel 12
1920
Emile-Allain Séguy’s vibrant butterfly plate from his famous 1920s 'Papillons' portfolio is a stunning celebration of nature's geometry. Arranged like a floating mobile, these five specimens showcase his incredible eye for color, blending realistic anatomical details with bold, almost Art Deco patterns. Originally created as a study for textile and wallpaper designers, these pages became iconic examples of early 20th-century decorative art. Séguy used a meticulous hand-coloring technique called pochoir to achieve these striking hues, proving that scientific illustration can be just as fashionable as it is educational.
