Add a touch of historical charm to your interior with this exquisite vintage poster that beautifully combines botany and entomology. The motif is an authentic reproduction of a work of art by the pioneering German natural historian and artist Maria Sibylla Merian from her masterpiece "Metamorphosis Insectorum Surinamensium" (1705), which is based on her expedition to Surinam in 1699-1701.
The poster shows a pomegranate tree, its fruit broken open to reveal the juicy seeds. Surrounding the plant are a caterpillar, a cocoon and the majestic Menelaus Blue Morpho butterfly (Morpho menelaus).
