EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured lithograph from John O. Westwood's new edition of Dru Drury's Illustrations of Exotic Entomology captures the beauty and intricacy of two magnificent butterfly species - the Great eggfly or blue moon butterfly (Hypolimnas bolina) and its sister, Iphiclus sister (Adelpha iphiclus). The delicate details of their wings are brought to life in vibrant hues, showcasing the intricate patterns and markings that make these creatures so mesmerizing.
The Great eggfly is known for its striking blue iridescence, while Iphiclus sister boasts a more subdued yet equally captivating color palette. Both butterflies are depicted in exquisite detail, with their ventral and dorsal views meticulously rendered to highlight every curve and contour.
This 19th-century print serves as a reminder of the incredible diversity found in the world of insects, particularly within the Lepidoptera order. It is a testament to the skill and artistry of natural history illustrators like Westwood and Drury, who dedicated themselves to capturing the beauty of these creatures for future generations to admire.
Whether you're a lover of entomology or simply appreciate fine art, this print is sure to captivate your imagination and inspire awe at the wonders of nature.
