EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored steel engraving, created by the Pauquet brothers and based on an illustration by Alexis Nicolas Noel for Hippolyte Lucas's "Histoire Naturelle des Lepidopteres d'Europe" (Natural History of European Butterflies), published in 1864, captures the intricate beauty of four different European butterfly species: the Lofty Bath White (Pontia callidice), Brimstone (Gonepteryx rhamni), and two Bath Whites (Pontia daplidice). The Lofty Bath White, with its wings adorned with delicate black lines and a distinctive orange patch, is depicted perched gracefully on a twig. The Brimstone, characterized by its bright yellow wings with black veins, is shown in flight, its wings outstretched. Two Bath Whites, easily distinguishable by their black-edged wings with a white central patch, are seen resting on a leaf and a twig, respectively. The meticulous attention to detail in the engraving brings out the intricate patterns and colors of these butterflies' wings, providing a stunning visual representation of their natural beauty. The Pauquet brothers' masterful technique and Noel's keen observational skills combine to create an enduring record of these captivating insects, offering a glimpse into the rich biodiversity of European butterflies during the late 19th century.
