Histoire des insectes nuisibles a la vigne

It is not only in wine production that the French have led the world, but also in the eradication of disease in vine growth and wine production. Louis Pastuer's famous discovery of the method for killing bacteria in milk was actually patented by him for use in the wine industry.

Victor Audouin (1797-1841) was a professor of entomology at the Museum National d'Histoire Naturelle, Paris. His principal work was an examination of the insects which attack grape vines, and from which this plate is taken. The work was completed after his death, by Henri Milne-Edwards and Emile Blanchard.
