Squid and Octopus 1892 Antique Natural History Cephalopod Art Poster
An 1892 hand-colored natural history plate, ‘Mollusques Pl. I’: the umbrella squid Histioteuthis bonelliana above the common octopus, Octopus vulgaris.
Description
The red-dotted umbrella squid opens its webbed arms like a parasol while the russet octopus trails long curling tentacles below. French cephalopod captions and fine engraving make this a fascinating marine print.
