This recipe describes a treatment rather than a thing. Put your own subject in and it is added to the end of the prompt.
A high contrast black and white natural specimen printed over a technical drawing grid, with measurement lines, brackets and registration marks running across and behind it. The specimen rendered photographically with fine detail while everything around it is thin ruled line only. Plain white paper with a printed rectangular border. No readable lettering, marks only. Subject: a moth with spread wings.
