Sizing Chart

Adolphe Millot's Insectes plate, created for the Larousse encyclopedia around 1900, transformed scientific illustration into decorative art — combining entomological precision with the flowing beauty of Art Nouveau. It remains one of the most iconic natural history illustrations ever made.

This hand-cut wooden jigsaw puzzle from Elms Puzzles is made to order by our artisans on a scroll saw and finished by hand in our workshop. Available in multiple sizes, it makes a fascinating gift for adults who love natural history illustration and heirloom-quality wooden puzzles. Every Elms Puzzle is as singular as the painting that inspired it.
