EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Plate V from A Rare Depiction of Butterflies and Moths, a publication from 1764. The hand-coloured engraving by Benjamin Wilkes features an exquisite arrangement of various butterfly and moth species. Each wing underside is meticulously depicted, revealing a kaleidoscope of vibrant colors and intricate patterns. The Peppered Moth, the Crimson and Gold Moth, the Privet Hawk Moth, the Rock Underwing Butterfly, the Oak Beauty moth, the White Stripe Moth, and the Leopard Moth are just some of the enchanting creatures captured in this image. Their delicate wings flutter with grace as they come to life on paper. This extraordinary piece belongs to The Stapleton Collection and is part of British history. It offers a glimpse into the world of lepidopterology (the study of butterflies) during that era. With its attention to detail and scientific accuracy, it serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a valuable resource for entomologists. As we admire this print's beauty, we can't help but be reminded of nature's wonders. From their etymology to their elegant flight patterns, these insects continue to fascinate us with their diversity and charm. This photograph invites us into a realm where animals become art – where wildlife takes center stage in our appreciation for both science and aesthetics.
