🐙 Mollusques vivants et fossiles. Atlas. Paris: Gide et Cie., éditeurs, 1845. Original source Image description: Historical scientific illustration from 1845 depicting detailed studies of octopus species. The main focus is on two octopuses—one shown from above with all eight tentacles spread out and another in a side view, highlighting their textured skin and suction cups. Surrounding these are smaller detailed insets of anatomical parts, including the beak, reproductive organs, and radula with intricate textures and shapes. The drawing uses shades of brown and gray on a cream background, with numbered labels identifying parts from “Octopus tuberculatus” and “Octopus vulgaris.” The style is precise and anatomical, emphasizing both external and internal features.
