EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured lithograph showcases an enchanting collection of exotic moths, meticulously depicted in John O. Westwood's new edition of Dru Drurys Illustrations of Exotic Entomology, published by Bohn, London, in 1837. The moths displayed include the Dotted Rustic, Rhyacia simulans (1), Calodesma collaris (2), Brachyglene caenea (3), Barred Yellow, Cidaria fulvata (4), Noctua Calyptra lugubris (5), and Acontia margaritata (6). The Dotted Rustic, Rhyacia simulans, is characterized by its intricate pattern of dots and lines on its wings. The Calodesma collaris boasts vibrant orange and black wings, while the Brachyglene caenea exhibits a striking combination of yellow, black, and red. The Barred Yellow, Cidaria fulvata, lives up to its name with its yellow wings adorned with distinct black bars. The Noctua Calyptra lugubris, with its large size and mournful appearance, is an intriguing sight, and the Acontia margaritata is a beautiful moth with shimmering silver spots on its wings. The other moths in this array include the Calyptra tristis, Gnophria sp., Callimorpha sp., Paecilophasia sp., and the Geometra sp. Each moth is rendered in exquisite detail, showcasing the intricacies of their delicate wings and intriguing features. This work of art not only serves as a testament to the natural beauty of these exotic moths but also to the skill and dedication of the artist and the printing process of the time.
