EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the breathtaking beauty of the Purple Emperor butterfly, Apatura iris (also known as Papilio iris or the Iris butterfly). The illustration was meticulously drawn and engraved by the skilled hand of Richard Polydore Nodder and published in George Shaw and Frederick Nodder's The Naturalist's Miscellany in London, 1806. The Purple Emperor is a large and striking butterfly, with its wingspan reaching up to 10 centimeters. The upperwings are a deep purple color with black veins, while the undersides are a paler shade of purple with intricate black markings. This butterfly is native to Europe and parts of Asia, and is particularly fond of wooded areas and heathlands. The Purple Emperor is a rare and elusive species, making it a prized find for naturalists and collectors. The intricate details of this illustration capture the delicate beauty and grace of the butterfly, allowing us to appreciate its splendor even when it is not possible to observe it in its natural habitat. The Naturalist's Miscellany was a popular publication during the time, showcasing a wide range of natural history subjects, including botany, zoology, and mineralogy. The publication was known for its high-quality illustrations, which were produced using the latest techniques in copperplate engraving and hand-coloring. This beautiful illustration of the Purple Emperor butterfly is a testament to the skill and dedication of the artists and naturalists of the time, and remains an important historical record of this fascinating species.
