A suite of twenty plates, each with a dazzling composition of five different insects, as indicated on table of plates. "The depictions of insects in the illustrations are remarkably detailed, revealing Séguy's unique interest in their scientific study as a source of inspiration fro artistic creation." (Metropolitan). Each plate features five naturalistic illustrations of different species. The plates were likely meant to inspire designs for textiles and wallpapers. The French illustrator Émile-Allain Séguy, known as E.A. Séguy, was one of the most important exponents of the Art Deco and Art Nouveau movements of the 1920s. His work inspired a generation of artists throughout Europe. Séguy produced eleven albums of nature themed illustrations and patterns, drawing inspiration from papillons (butterflies) and other insects, flowers, foliage, crystals and animals. Séguy was one of few artists that successfully combined both Art Deco and Art Nouveau styles in his work. Séguy's popular papillon and insect books had many people confuse him with the entomologist Eugène Séguy, who held a chair of entomology at the "Museum national d'histoire naturelle" from 1956 to 1960.

Condition: Good. Collotype and pochoir. 45 x 22.1cm.Signed in the plate lower left. Small loss in lower right corner. This print very rare and not reproduced elsewhere. Met Museum Object Number: 1971.638.1(8): for a different version: "Eighth plate of portfolio with a collection of twenty pochoir pattern plates, titled "Papillons: vingt planches en phototypie coloriées au patron donnant 81 papillons et 16 compositions décoratives" (Butterflies: twenty plates with colored phototypes with patterns with 81 butterflies and 16 decorative compositions), created by Émile-Allain Séguy and published in Paris by Tolmer Éditeur, probably in the 1920s. The plate features five naturalistic illustrations of exotic butterflies from India, Venezuela, North America, the Himalayas, and Congo, executed with shades of brown, green, black, white, purple, and orange. The depictions of butterflies in the illustration are remarkably detailed, revealing Séguy's unique interest in the scientific study of insects as a source of inspiration for artistic creation. This illustration was likely meant to inspire designs for textiles and wallpapers." . Emile-Allain Séguy was a popular French designer throughout the Art Deco and Art Nouveau movements of the 1920s. Often confused with the French entomologist Eugene Séguy who was active during the same time period, E.A. Séguy designed primarily patterns and textiles and was heavily influenced by the natural world. He was particularly fond of the intricate patterns and beauty of insects (Eugene would have approved), which he saw as "mechanic wonders" that provided abundant inspiration for interior design (Schiff, 157).From the collection of Frederic Gale Ruffner, Jr., the founder of Gale Research, Detroit.
