Papillons:
vingt planches en phototypie coloriees au patron,
donnant 81 papillons et 16 compositions
decoratives.
Paris, Editions Ducharte et Van Buggenhoudt, 1924.
Paris: Tolmer, 1928.
Brilliantly and boldly colored butterflies from around the world are shown in interesting
arrangements in pochoir prints from a set of 20 by the French designer and author E.A. Seguy.
A collection of 20 plates depicting
butterflies. Plates 1 to 16 show large specimens
scientific illustrations of 81 species, in colorful arrangements, often overlapping, emphasizing colors, and patterns and shapes of wings
and wing veins. Plates 17 through 20 are composite uses of butterfly patterns, in geometric boxes, like fabric or wallpaper designs.
Seguy uses a process of pochoir over photogravure to color this
beautiful album.
In his foreword to Papillons, Seguy describes the prints as "un monde somptueux de formes et de couleurs" -- a world of sumptuous forms and colors.
He explains that they are intended to provide a record of rare, exotic specimens from museums and private collections, within an aesthetic context,
thereby making them more widely accessible as inspiration for decorative arts designers. Nonetheless, Seguy based his images of butterflies and insects
on illustrations in scientific publications, thereby maintaining scientific accuracy. They were enlarged up to 10 to 15 times to reveal intricacies of
their design not visible without magnification. Also included with the set was a
Table Des Noms Scientifiques [Table of Scientific Names], providing the
technical species and genus names as well as the countries or regions of habitat for the species shown in Plates 1 through 16.
