The image captures the excitement of a butterfly hunting race, as a young boy eagerly leads the way with his net, followed closely by his sister. Their faces are filled with anticipation and determination as they sprint through the countryside in pursuit of their fluttering prey. The composition is beautifully detailed, showcasing the lush green landscape that serves as their playground. The vibrant colors of the butterflies add an enchanting touch to the scene, with species such as nymphalis urticae, aglais urticae, peacock butterfly, and brimstone butterfly depicted. This print is part of "Alphabet des recreations" a book by Marie de Grandmaison that aimed to educate children while providing them with entertainment.

The image evokes nostalgia for simpler times when children found joy in simple pleasures like chasing butterflies. It reminds us of the importance of embracing our inner child and finding wonder in nature's smallest creatures.
