EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured 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 a captivating collection of five different tiger moths: the Scarlet Tiger Moth (Callimorpha dominula), Clouded Buff (Diacrisia sannio), Wood Tiger (Parasemia plantaginis), Purple Tiger (Rhyparia purpurata), and the less commonly depicted, but equally beautiful, Buff Clouded (Diacrisia sannio). The intricate details of each moth's unique features are beautifully rendered in this exquisite work of art. The Scarlet Tiger Moth, with its vibrant orange and black wings, stands out boldly against the muted tones of the other moths. The Clouded Buff, with its delicate, almost translucent wings, exudes a delicate elegance. The Wood Tiger's earthy tones blend seamlessly with the natural world, while the Purple Tiger's deep purple wings add a touch of regal sophistication. The Pauquet brothers' masterful engraving technique brings each moth to life, capturing their intricate patterns and textures with remarkable accuracy. The use of handcolouring adds an additional layer of depth and richness to the image, making it a true work of art. This engraving is a testament to the natural beauty and diversity of the European tiger moth population, and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving these delicate creatures and their habitats. Hippolyte Lucas' Natural History of European Butterflies was published in 1864, and this engraving remains a valuable and captivating record of these magnificent insects.
