EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored lithograph, drawn and engraved by Moses Harris, showcases three stunning species of British butterflies: the Hunter's Butterfly (Pyrameis huntera 1), the Orange-tip Butterfly (Pieris (Thestias) pyrene 2), and the Grey Pansy Butterfly (Junonia atlites 3). Originally published in John O. Westwood's new edition of Dru Drury's Illustrations of Exotic Entomology, published by Bohn, London, in 1837, this illustration offers a glimpse into the natural history of these intriguing insects. The Hunter's Butterfly, also known as the Purple-edged Copper, is easily identified by its vibrant orange wings with black spots and purple edges. The Orange-tip Butterfly, on the other hand, boasts bright orange wings with black tips and a distinctive white marking resembling an orange tip. The Grey Pansy Butterfly, or the Small White, is characterized by its white wings with black borders and a distinctive black spot near the center. Moses Harris, a renowned English natural history illustrator, meticulously captured the unique features of these butterflies in this exquisite artwork. The intricate details of their wings, bodies, and antennae are rendered with remarkable accuracy, making this illustration a valuable addition to any collection of natural history art. This lithograph, produced during the 19th century, offers a glimpse into the scientific curiosity and appreciation for the natural world that characterized the era. The ventral and dorsal views of these butterflies provide a comprehensive understanding of their anatomy, making this illustration an essential resource for entomologists and natural history enthusiasts alike.
