Émile Blanchard (fl. c. 1845) Original watercolour
Original watercolour with gum arabic page for an
illustration for the Dictionnaire D'Histoire Naturelle, 1849 .
This has traces of his writing describing the insects and extensive
faint script to the base of the pic. Signed to the left E Blanchard
some surface soiling but how did it survive absolutely stunning
Large plate mounted to preserve ie keep tidy .
. .. . . Charles Émile Blanchard (6 March 1819 – 11
February 1900) was a French zoologist and entomologist born in
Paris. His father was an artist and naturalist and Émile began
natural history very early in life. When he was 14 years old, Jean
Victoire Audouin (1797–1841), allowed him access to the
laboratory of the Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle. In 1838,
he became a technician or préparateur in this then, as now,
famous institution. In 1841, he became assistant-naturalist.He
accompanied Henri Milne-Edwards (1800–1885) and Jean Louis Armand
de Quatrefages de Breau (1810–1892) to Sicily on a marine zoology
expedition. He published, in 1845 a Histoire des insectes, or History
of the insects and, in 1854–1856 Zoologie agricole or
Agricultural Zoology. This last work is remarkable: it presents in a
precise way the harmful or pest species and the damage they cause to
various crop plants. This work was illustrated by his father.Next he
published an atlas of the anatomy of the vertebrates which appeared
between 1852 and 1864. This publication raised his hopes to obtain the
chair of reptiles and fish at the Natural History Museum left vacant by
the death of Auguste Duméril (1812–1870) but it was
finally Leon Vaillant (1834–1914) who was selected. However, in
1862, he was given the chair of natural history of Crustacea, Arachnida
and Insects. He left this in 1894 following his infirmity. He was
elected, in 1862 into the Academy of Science. He began to lose his
sight after 1860 and became blind in 1890. He died in Paris
