1. Title: "Adonis Blue Butterfly, Polyommatus bellargus: A Natural History Treasure from the Past" 2.. This exquisite handcolored copperplate engraving showcases the captivating beauty of the Adonis Blue Butterfly, Polyommatus bellargus. The illustration, drawn and engraved by the renowned naturalist artist, Richard Polydore Nodder, was published in George Shaw and Frederick Nodder's The Naturalist's Miscellany in London, 1800. The Adonis Blue Butterfly is a small, vibrant insect native to Europe and Asia. The male butterfly, depicted in this engraving, is characterized by its stunning blue wings adorned with black borders and white spots. The underside of the wings displays a different pattern, with a mix of brown and blue hues. This illustration is a testament to the intricate detail and artistry of the natural history records of the past. The copperplate engraving process involved creating an etched design on a copper plate, which was then inked and hand-colored to produce a highly detailed and accurate representation of the subject. The Naturalist's Miscellany was a popular and influential work in the field of zoology and natural history during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The publication featured a wide range of illustrations of various species, contributing significantly to the scientific understanding and appreciation of the natural world.
