Emile-Allain Séguy (1877-1951) 'Insectes' Plate No. 3, featuring exotic beetles from Java, Brazil, New Guinea, South America and Europe. Pochoir pattern lithograph, published in Paris by Duchartre & Van Buggenhoudt in 1929. Stamped lower left 'EA SEGUY', plate number upper left. Elaborately archived and matted with hand applied gilt and yellow boundary designs flanking a half inch wide peacock feather design; in a beaded gilt frame by Dorger Gallery, Cincinnati, Ohio in the 1980's, where they were last sold, and kept in excellent condition since. According to Ashley Jones, Preservation Librarian at the University of Miami Ohio, "It is interesting to note that Seguy, while confident that butterflies would be readily accepted, made the special plea for the other insects that were constructed like wonderful machines and were thus entitled to the same consideration as an airplane fuselage, an ocean liner or locomotive; nature was a successful industrial designer!†17" x 12", framed to 30" x 23".
