Small poster on “insects and dragonflies”, based on an old engraving

Small poster on “insects and dragonflies, ” based on a 1610 engraving by the Flemish naturalist Anselmus Boetius de Boodt. Dimensions: 21 X 14.8 cm. Frame not included. High-quality, thick 250gsm paper. Shipped well protected in a rigid mailer. This illustration features a series of meticulously drawn insects, including specimens such as a blue dragonfly (No. 1) and a cricket (No. 6). The fine details of the wings and bodies are rendered with great precision, allowing one to appreciate the diversity of shapes and textures of these creatures. The mix of vibrant colors, with shades of blue, green, and black, accentuates the contrasts between the different species, while the annotations at the bottom clarify their classification. A fascinating glimpse into 17th-century insect fauna.
