EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured lithograph showcases an enchanting collection of exotic dragonflies and damselflies, captured in intricate detail during the 19th century. The illustration features six distinct species: the Lucia widow dragonfly (Palpopleura lucia), the Rubyspot damselfly (Hetaerina caja), the Picture wing (Rhyothemis variegata), the Slough Amberwing (Perithemis domitia), and the Smoky Rubyspot damselfly (Hetaerina titia). The Lucia widow dragonfly, with its vibrant green body and striking black wings, is depicted in the upper left corner. The Rubyspot damselfly, identified by its ruby-red spots, is illustrated in the center. The Picture wing, with its iridescent wings adorned with intricate patterns, is depicted in the lower left corner. The Slough Amberwing, named for its amber-colored wings, is illustrated in the upper right corner. The Smoky Rubyspot damselfly, with its smoky-gray wings and ruby-red spots, is depicted in the lower right corner. This illustration is a testament to the beauty and diversity of the dragonfly and damselfly world. It was created as part of John O. Westwood's new edition of Dru Drury's Illustrations of Exotic Entomology, published by Bohn, London, in 1837. The handcoloured lithograph provides a glimpse into the natural world of over 175 years ago, offering a unique perspective on these fascinating insects.
