VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This image features a vintage scientific illustration of an oyster, specifically labeled as "Ostrea edulis, " commonly known as the European flat oyster. The artwork is detailed and colored in naturalistic tones, depicting the bivalve's irregular shape and textured surface with subtle hues of blue, green, and yellow. Red lines appear to indicate anatomical features or perhaps growth rings on the shell. Below the illustration are two pieces of text: one directly under the drawing that seems to be part of its title or description in cursive script—possibly identifying it further or providing an artist's signature—and another on a separate piece of paper affixed below that provides additional classification information about this specimen. The bottom label includes what appears to be a cataloging reference number ("C. o 30") which might correspond to its entry in a collection or exhibition. The entire composition is mounted on black backing paper which contrasts with both the white border surrounding the illustration and adds formality to its presentation. This suggests that it may have been intended for academic review, part of a collection book, or displayed for educational purposes.
