The Passionate Observer

In The Passionate Observer, Marlene McLoughlin's precise, luminous watercolors are paired with Jean Henri Fabre's classic text on insects, Souvenirs Entomologiques. An instant hit when it was published in France in 1879, Souvenirs Entomologiques has endured as a testament to our universal fascination with the smallest of creatures. McLoughlin's exquisite original paintings were created especially to illuminate this collection of clever, amusing, and provocative writings. Whether depicting the intricate texture of a butterfly's wings or the pale delicacy of a hummingbird's egg, Jean Henri Fabre and Marlene McLoughlin create a vivid world of discovery.
