This golden Hector Giacomelli design was created for the cover of L’Insecte, an 1875 book by Jules Michelet.

A French engraver and illustrator, Giacomelli was highly sought after for his artistic ornamentations.

Originally etched in gold on a cloth cover, our Les Papillons cover reflects his passion for the natural world.
