EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored lithograph showcases three stunning species of tiger moths: the Hebe tiger moth (Arctia festiva, also known as Ecaille hebe), the Cream-spot tiger (Epicallia villica, or Ecaille fermiere), and the Garden tiger moth (Arctia caja, or Ecaille martre). Each moth is depicted in intricate detail, with their distinctive markings and vibrant colors brought to life through the artistry of the lithographic process. The Hebe tiger moth, with its bold black and orange stripes, is a common sight in Europe and Asia. The Cream-spot tiger, as its name suggests, boasts cream-colored spots against a dark background, while the Garden tiger moth is easily recognizable by its striking black and orange wings adorned with a large, white "Y" symbol. This beautiful work of art is from the "Histoire des Papillons" series, dedicated to youth, published by Hippolyte and Polydor Pauquet in Paris in 1833. The series was designed to educate and delight, and this lithograph is a testament to the beauty and diversity of the natural world. The intricate detail and vibrant colors showcase the skill and artistry of the lithographers, making this a valuable addition to any collection of natural history or entomology. The Hebe tiger moth, Cream-spot tiger, and Garden tiger moth are just a few of the many fascinating species of tiger moths found around the world. These moths play important roles in their ecosystems as pollinators and food sources for various animals. By preserving and studying these beautiful creatures, we can gain a deeper appreciation for the intricacies of nature and the importance of biodiversity.
