What it is
A colour lithograph by Theo van Hoytema, printed by Tresling & Comp. of Amsterdam, for the biological exhibition in the zoological garden at The Hague, 11 to 21 June 1910: Het leven van planten en dieren.
Why it matters
Van Hoytema was the Netherlands' great drawer of animals and plants, so a biology show at the zoo went to him.
What to notice
Dragonflies, butterflies and plants work through the design; the verso carries the collector's mark Lugt 2233.
Natural history as ornament, by the man who drew it best.
