The Insect is one of four works in which French historian Jules Michelet (1798-1874) wrote about his study of nature. Published after his death, it has become a beloved tome of his work. Hector Giacomelli (1822-1904) was a French watercolorist, engraver and illustrator, best known for his paintings of birds.
