🐌 Histoire naturelle: Paris: Impr. de A. Lacour, 1835. Original source Image description: Illustration of a squid (G. Calmar, Loligo) from 1835, depicting its elongated, tapered body with a broad, diamond-shaped fin at the base. The squid’s head features large eyes and numerous tentacles, some with prominent suckers. Surrounding the main figure are detailed close-ups of anatomical parts, including the radula (toothed tongue-like structure) and other internal or structural components, labeled with numbers and letters. The image is printed on aged paper with visible spots, characteristic of antique natural history illustrations.
