EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored steel engraving, created by the Pauquet brothers and based on an illustration by Alexis Nicolas Noel for Hippolyte Lucas' Natural History of European Butterflies, showcases three exquisite species of butterflies: the Moorland Clouded Yellow (Colias palaeno), the Cleopatra (Gonepteryx cleopatra), and the Pale Clouded Yellow (Colias hyale). The Moorland Clouded Yellow, with its vibrant orange wings speckled with black and white, is a rare and elusive butterfly found in the moorlands of Europe. Its distinctive appearance and elusiveness have made it a subject of fascination for naturalists and collectors. The Cleopatra, also known as the Painted Lady or the Orange Tip, is a migratory butterfly with a wide distribution across Europe and North Africa. Its wings are adorned with intricate patterns of orange, black, and white, making it a visual treat for the eyes. The Pale Clouded Yellow, with its delicate yellow wings and black borders, is another beautiful and common European butterfly. Its wings have a subtle iridescence that shimmers in the sunlight, adding to its allure. The intricate detail and vibrant colors of this engraving are a testament to the skill and artistry of the Pauquet brothers and Alexis Nicolas Noel. It is a stunning representation of the natural beauty of these three butterfly species and a reminder of the rich biodiversity of Europe's natural world.
