VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This image features a vintage scientific illustration of two marine gastropod mollusks. The top specimen (No. 1) is depicted with soft pastel colors, primarily in shades of yellow and pink, suggesting it might be some sort of sea snail or slug. The bottom specimen (No. 2) has a more robust appearance with a spiral shell that exhibits earthy tones and intricate patterns, characteristic of many shelled marine creatures. The paper appears aged, indicating that this illustration may have been created quite some time ago as part of a natural history collection or scientific study. There's handwritten text at the top which seems to be in Latin or an old style script from another Romance language, likely identifying the species or providing context about their classification. Below the illustrations is a label affixed to the page with additional information; however, due to its small size and possible wear over time, it's difficult to read all details clearly without zooming in on high-resolution imagery. Overall, this image captures both the artistic beauty and scientific detail that was commonly employed in documenting biodiversity before modern photography became widespread.
