I made this panoramic collage of antique drawings by Maria Sibylla Merian, one of the most famous entomologists of the 17th and 18th centuries. The pictured butterflies come from the tropics, Maria was among others in Suriname for her research.
The background is also unique - for this I used empty pages from her book from 1730, so that the background is also a work of art with all kinds of small old-fashioned paper details.
Due to the high resolution, the plate can also be printed in large format.
