EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured lithograph showcases a captivating collection of exotic butterflies, featuring the Wavy Common Palmfly (Elymnias hypermnestra undularis, formerly known as Biblis undularis), the White Admiral (Limenitis arthemis), and the Common Jezebel (Delias eucharis, formerly known as Pieris eucharis). The intricately detailed illustration, taken from John O. Westwood's new edition of Dru Drury's Illustrations of Exotic Entomology published by Bohn, London, in 1837, offers a glimpse into the natural beauty of these enchanting insects. The Wavy Common Palmfly, with its vibrant orange and black wings adorned with intricate patterns, is depicted in both its ventral and dorsal views. The White Admiral, characterized by its distinctive black and orange wings with white spots, is shown in the same perspective. The Common Jezebel, known for its striking yellow and black wings, is illustrated in the same position, providing a clear comparison of the similarities and differences between these three species. The White Admiral and Common Jezebel are both members of the Nymphalidae family, while the Wavy Common Palmfly belongs to the Nymphalinae subfamily. These butterflies are native to various regions, including Asia, Africa, and the Pacific Islands, and are admired for their unique and captivating appearances. This exquisite work of art not only highlights the natural history of these butterflies but also showcases the exceptional skill of the lithographer and the painstaking process of handcolouring each print. The result is a visually stunning and educational piece that continues to captivate viewers over 180 years after its creation.
