EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured lithograph, taken from John O. Westwood's new edition of Dru Drury's Illustrations of Exotic Entomology, published by Bohn in London in 1837, showcases two captivating species of butterflies: the Western Emperor Swallowtail (Papilio menestheus) and the Indian Sunbeam (Curetis thetis, formerly known as Thecla thetis). The Western Emperor Swallowtail, depicted in images 1 and 2, is a large and vibrant butterfly native to the western United States and Mexico. The male (1) is characterized by its black wings with distinctive yellow and blue markings, while the female (2) displays more subdued colors with orange and brown patches. The Indian Sunbeam, presented in images 3 and 4, is a small and delicate butterfly found in southern Asia. The female (3) is shown in both its ventral (under) and dorsal (upper) views, revealing its intricately patterned wings. The male is not depicted in this lithograph. The Indian Sunbeam is known for its bright orange and black wings, with the female's ventral side displaying a striking pattern of white spots. These exquisite illustrations, produced during the 19th century, offer a fascinating glimpse into the natural world of the past and showcase the intricate beauty of these two captivating butterfly species. The handcoloured lithographs, produced by skilled artisans, highlight the meticulous attention to detail and the remarkable accuracy of scientific observation during this era.
