EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored steel engraving by the Pauquet brothers, after an original illustration by Alexis Nicolas Noel for Hippolyte Lucas' Natural History of European Butterflies, showcases an enchanting assembly of seven distinct species of European white butterflies. The Green-veined White, Pieris napi, and Small White, Pieris rapae, are depicted in their pristine, vibrant forms. The Mountain Clouded Yellow, Colias phicomone, is rendered with intricate detail, its wings adorned with delicate, cloud-like patterns. The Dark-veined White, Pieris bryoniae, adds a touch of mystery with its darker, more subdued coloration. The Pauquet brothers' masterful engraving technique brings each butterfly's intricate wing patterns to life, from the delicate, interconnected veins of the Green-veined White to the bold, contrasting markings of the Small White. The Small White's underwings are also illustrated, revealing their unique, cryptic camouflage. Alexis Nicolas Noel's meticulous illustrations, combined with the Pauquet brothers' skillful engraving, provide a stunning visual representation of these captivating insects. This engraving is a testament to the natural beauty of these European butterflies and serves as a reminder of the intricate and delicate balance of nature. Hippolyte Lucas' Natural History of European Butterflies, or Histoire Naturelle des Lepidopteres d'Europe, was a groundbreaking work that documented over 1,500 species of European butterflies. This engraving is a valuable historical record and a visual delight for those with an appreciation for the natural world.
