EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured lithograph showcases an enchanting collection of exotic butterflies, including the Palamedes Swallowtail (Papilio palamedes 1, 2), Antillean Pelops (Antillea pelops 3, 4), and Caribbean Duskywing (Ephyriades arcas arcas 5, 6). This image is taken from John O. Westwood's new edition of Dru Drury's Illustrations of Exotic Entomology, published by Bohn, London, in 1837. The Palamedes Swallowtail butterflies (Papilio palamedes) are characterized by their vibrant, yellow and black wings with distinctive tails. These butterflies are native to Central and South America, and their unique appearance makes them a popular subject for collectors and naturalists alike. The Antillean Pelops butterflies (Antillea pelops) are another striking species featured in this print. With their iridescent, green and blue wings, these butterflies are a true marvel of nature. They are endemic to the Caribbean region and are often found in forests and gardens. The Caribbean Duskywing butterflies (Ephyriades arcas arcas) complete this mesmerizing display. These medium-sized butterflies have brown wings with intricate patterns and a distinctive orange spot near the apex. They are commonly found in the Caribbean and Central America, and their elusive nature adds to their allure. This beautiful and intricately detailed lithograph provides a glimpse into the rich biodiversity of the exotic butterfly world during the 19th century. The handcolouring adds depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a true work of art. With its stunning depiction of these enchanting creatures, this print is a must-have for any nature lover or collector of rare and exotic specimens.
