EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving, drawn and engraved by the renowned naturalist and artist, Richard Polydore Nodder, showcases two stunning species of butterflies, the Parides aeneas and Papilio peranthus. The Parides aeneas, also known as the Golden-spotted Swallowtail, is a large and vibrant butterfly native to Central and South America. Its wings display a striking pattern of black, orange, and yellow, with distinctive golden spots and a long, pointed tail. The Papilio peranthus, or the Blue Mormon, is another captivating species, native to Asia. Its wings are adorned with intricate patterns of blue, black, and white, with a distinctive orange band near the edge. The male butterfly is particularly striking, with its bright blue wings and long, black tails. This illustration is taken from George Shaw and Frederick Nodder's "The Naturalist's Miscellany," published in London in 1801. The work was a significant contribution to the field of zoology and natural history, showcasing a wide range of species in meticulously detailed illustrations. The Lepidoptera section, featuring butterflies and moths, was particularly renowned for its high-quality engravings, which were produced using the copperplate technique. The intricate details of the engraving, combined with the vibrant colors of the hand-coloring, bring these beautiful butterflies to life, capturing their natural beauty and grace. The illustration is a testament to the skill and dedication of the artists and naturalists of the time, who sought to document and preserve the natural world for future generations.
