About the Item
The illustration is a collection of various shells, likely representing both gastropods and bivalves:
1. **Télescope vulgaire** - Possibly named for its elongated, tubular shape, resembling a telescope.
2. **Toupie pagode** - This may refer to a top-shaped shell with multiple whorls, similar to the tiers of a pagoda.
3. **Cadran perspective** - Likely a shell with a pattern or structure that gives the illusion of depth or perspective, akin to a sundial's face.
4. **Sabot grumeux** - Named for its resemblance to a clog or shoe, possibly with a rough or lumpy surface.
5. **Scalitre précieuse** - This could refer to a precious scallop, known for its radial ribs and often colorful interior.
6. **Ampullaire de la guyane** - Likely an apple snail from Guyana, recognized for their rounded, bulbous shells.
7. **Naïade glauque** - This might be a naiad shell, typically used to describe freshwater bivalves, with "glauque" suggesting a blue-green coloration.
The hand-colored engraving, from 'The 'Dictionnaire Classique des Sciences Naturelles', would have served as an educational tool, displaying the diversity and beauty of marine and freshwater mollusks.
