hi, how do you call this kind of image?

I don't know that there is a word for it. Generally, they are referred to as naturalist illustrations.

>>376705
it's a jpeg, buddy

>>376705
Me personally, I would call that a science(tific) illustration.
The proper name is probably some kind of amalgamation.

I'm not sure.

But I do know that books that look like this are called "illuminated manuscripts"

>>376705
in German, Bildtafel

in English, plate, but perhaps it is not used anymore?

I think plate only refers to a full-page illustration in a textbook/dictionary with a figure like in >>376705, not to the name of the composed image itself.

Species Chart?
