EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely hand-colored steel engraving showcases a captivating assembly of five distinct tiger moth species: the Brown Tiger Moth (Hyphoraia aulica), Cream-Spot Tiger Moth (Epicallia villica), Ruby Tiger Moth (Phragmatobia fuliginosa), and Muslin Moth (Diaphora mendica). The intricate details of their vibrant wing patterns are masterfully rendered by the Pauquet brothers, based on an original illustration by Alexis Nicolas Noel for Hippolyte Lucas' Natural History of European Butterflies, published in 1864. The Brown Tiger Moth, with its rich, earthy hues, is a common sight in woodlands and gardens. The Cream-Spot Tiger Moth, on the other hand, boasts striking white spots against its dark wings, making it easily distinguishable. The Ruby Tiger Moth, as its name suggests, boasts ruby-red markings that add a touch of elegance to its wings. Lastly, the Muslin Moth, with its delicate, almost translucent wings, is a sight to behold, often mistaken for a damaged or dying moth due to its delicate appearance. This engraving is a testament to the intricate beauty of nature and the meticulous craftsmanship of the Pauquet brothers and Alexis Nicolas Noel. It offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the natural history of these fascinating creatures, and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and appreciating the diversity of the natural world.
