Sea Anemone Anatomy — Delage & Hérouard

This zoological plate presents a sectional anatomical study of a marine invertebrate, revealing the internal organization beneath its dark, tentacled exterior. Muted yellow, dusty pink, brown, gray, and small blue details distinguish the different structures, while fine dotted lines connect the drawing to abbreviated scientific labels.

The combination of precise anatomical observation and restrained color gives the plate a distinctive visual character. Set against warm cream paper, the central specimen retains the fine linework, typography, and printed texture of a historical scientific illustration. The work belongs to Traité de Zoologie Concrète, associated with French zoologists Yves Delage and Edgard Hérouard around the turn of the twentieth century.
