EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured steel engraving depicts the enchanting Giant Emperor Moth, Saturnia pyri (Saturnia major, also known as Pavonia major), a rare and magnificent lepidopteran species native to Europe. The intricate details of the moth's wings, adorned with intricate patterns and vibrant colours, are beautifully rendered in this meticulously crafted print. The Giant Emperor Moth is one of the largest moths in Europe, with a wingspan that can reach up to 15 centimeters. Its wings are a stunning display of nature's artistry, featuring a rich orange-brown background dotted with irregular black spots and bordered by a narrow band of bright yellow. The moth's body is covered in long, silky hairs, giving it a soft and velvety appearance. This image is the work of the Pauquet brothers, skilled engravers, and Alexis Nicolas Noel, a renowned naturalist and illustrator. It was created as part of Hippolyte Lucas's "Histoire Naturelle des Lepidopteres d'Europe," a comprehensive and beautifully illustrated work on the natural history of European butterflies and moths. The engraving showcases the artists' exceptional skill and attention to detail, making it a valuable addition to any collection of natural history prints. The delicate handcolouring adds an extra layer of depth and realism to the image, bringing the Giant Emperor Moth to life and allowing us to appreciate its beauty and intricacy up close.
