EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph, titled "Two-tailed Pasha, Charaxes jasius 1 and Purple Emperor, Apatura iris 2 with a Tulip and Nymphale Grand," is an exquisite example of naturalistic art from the 19th century. The image, part of the "Histoire des Papillons" series published by Hippolyte and Polydor Pauquet in Paris in 1833, showcases two stunning butterflies, the Two-tailed Pasha, Charaxes jasius 1, and the Purple Emperor, Apatura iris 2. The Two-tailed Pasha, also known as the Mars Changeant or Foxy Butterfly, is a large and vibrant species native to Africa and Southern Europe. Its wings display a striking pattern of black, orange, and white, with two long, curved tails extending from its hindwings. The Purple Emperor, on the other hand, is a large and majestic butterfly found in Europe and Asia. Its wings are a rich purple color with intricate black veins and white spots. The lithograph also features a beautiful tulip, likely included as a symbol of the natural world and the connection between butterflies and flowers. The delicate hand-coloring adds an extra layer of depth and realism to the image, making it a true work of art. This intriguing and detailed print is a testament to the naturalistic art movement of the 19th century and the fascination with the natural world during this time. It is a reminder of the beauty and diversity of the natural world and the importance of preserving it for future generations.
