Poster of the squid and the common octopus, after an 1849 engraving from Charles Dessalines D'Orbigny's Universal Dictionary of Natural History. Dimensions: 21 X 29 cm. Frame not included. High-quality, thick paper, 250 g. Shipped securely in a rigid package. This poster exquisitely illustrates two fascinating cephalopods: the squid (Histioteleuthis bonelliana) and the common octopus (Octopus vulgaris). Their slender tentacles, detailed suckers, and graceful forms, typical of 19th-century natural history illustrations, are clearly visible. The brown and orange hues lend a warm touch to this marine composition, ideal for a decor inspired by the sea and cabinets of curiosities. Perfect in a nautical-style interior, on a biologist's desk, alongside marine objects such as an antique compass, a seashell, coral, or a brass lamp.
