EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving depicts the High Brown Fritillary, Fabriciana adippe, also known as the Adippe Butterfly or Papilio adippe. The image was meticulously drawn and engraved by the skilled hands of Richard Polydore Nodder and published in George Shaw and Frederick Nodder's The Naturalist's Miscellany in London, 1806. The High Brown Fritillary is a beautiful and elusive butterfly native to Europe and Asia. With its wingspan reaching up to 8 centimeters, this Lepidopteran species is characterized by its high-contrast wings, featuring orange-brown patches on a black ground, with white spots at the edges. The life cycle of the High Brown Fritillary begins with the egg, which is laid on the food plant of the caterpillar, typically violets. After hatching, the caterpillar feeds on the leaves and develops into a pupa or chrysalis. Once the transformation is complete, the adult butterfly emerges, ready to begin its short but vibrant life. The High Brown Fritillary is an essential addition to any collection of zoological illustrations or natural history records. Its intricate details and stunning coloration are a testament to the artistry and dedication of the naturalists and illustrators of the past. This engraving is not only a beautiful work of art but also an invaluable historical document, providing insight into the natural world of over two centuries ago.
