E A Séguy – Insectes & Papillons

E A Séguy was a French decorative illustrator who produced 11 books of patterns and illustrations in the early part of the 20th century. A distinctive feature of both the Art Nouveau and Art Deco periods (across which his work spanned) was the drawing of inspiration from the beauty of nature. Presented here are sample images from two of his books, dedicated to the study of insects – Insectes and Papillions. Click any image for full size.

  1. Hi Steve, Great Illlustrations! Really vintage stuff. Plate 10 lower left insect reminds of the “Mimic” movie creature. These look even better on Flickr in full size.
