3. Ocean A Sea Life Poster
This is first of 2 Ocean posters. These general ocean prints are my favourites of Adolphe Millot marine life collection.
Rather than a typical identification sheet, it’s a more artistic interpretation of life in the ocean. I love the variety of sea creatures from starfish on the Ocean floor to free-swimming Jellyfish and sharks.
4. Ocean B Marine Life Poster
The second ocean scene marine poster in Adolphe Millot sea life illustrations.
As a child of about 10 years old, whilst playing in the rock pools of our local beach in Hong Kong I found the shell of number 7

6. Poissons B (fish) – Identification Poster
The second fish identification poster in Adolphe’s marine posters. There are 29 illustrated fish on this sea life print. From a sea horse to a sea eagle.
7. Oceanography Poster – Adolphe Millot
Another marine poster that’s more artwork than an identification sheet. There is no key on this one. Instead, the name of each sea creature is written directly onto the poster.
Not only are the fish and crustaceans named but so is the coral and any plant life.
8. Algues (Algae) Marine Poster
This sea life poster of Adolphe Millot

Includes fish from large rays to sturgeons.

This second sea life poster of Adolphe Millot titled oceanographie (oceanography) focuses on jellyfish and sea anemones.
There are 40 painted illustrations of coral, jellyfish and anemones, etc. with a full key at the bottom of the charts.

This is a sea life identification poster full of illustrations of marine creatures such as starfish, sea urchins, shellfish, squids, and jellyfish etc.
Each individual painting has a French identification label next to it.
