EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Quintet of Fritillary Butterflies: High Brown, Dark Green, Queen of Spain" This exquisite hand-colored steel engraving, created by the Pauquet brothers and based on an illustration by Alexis Nicolas Noel for Hippolyte Lucas's "Natural History of European Butterflies" (Histoire Naturelle des Lepidopteres d'Europe), showcases an enchanting quintet of Fritillary butterflies. The depicted species include the High Brown Fritillary (Fabriciana adippe), Dark Green Fritillary (Argynnis aglaja), and Queen of Spain Fritillary (Issoria lathonia). The High Brown Fritillary, with its intricate orange and brown wings adorned with black spots, is a sight to behold. Its wingspan ranges from 5.5 to 7 centimeters, and it is native to Europe, North Africa, and Asia. The Dark Green Fritillary, also known as the Dark Green Argus, is a small butterfly with a wingspan of about 5 centimeters. Its wings are dark green with orange spots and a distinctive black border. This species is found in Europe, North Africa, and Asia. The Queen of Spain Fritillary, with its striking orange and black wings, is a common sight in Europe, particularly in meadows and woodlands. Its wingspan measures around 6.5 centimeters. The Pauquet brothers' masterful engraving technique brings out the intricate details of these fascinating creatures, capturing their delicate beauty and unique characteristics. The use of hand-coloring further enhances the vibrancy and realism of the image. Alexis Nicolas Noel's original illustrations, combined with the Pauquet brothers' engraving skills, resulted in a stunning representation of these European Fritillary butterflies. This engraving is a testament to the natural history artistry of the 19th century and a reminder of the beauty and diversity of the natural world.
