Background:
These hand-colored Beetle prints are from the Dictionnaire
Universel d'Histoire Naturelle (Dictionary of Natural History) edited by the
French naturalist Charles D'Orbigny (1802-1857). Regarded as one of
the best illustrated encyclopedias of natural history, the Dictionary is typical
of the books of this period, featuring highly detailed and scientifically accurate color
prints to appeal to both the academic and general public. Topics included
mammals, birds, insects, fish and other natural history subjects.
