Title: 1849 Hand-Colored Lithograph of Dragonflies and Nymph Stages – A Study in Entomology
Description: This intricate hand-colored lithograph from 1849 illustrates various dragonfly species and their life stages, including nymphs, in a detailed and scientific composition. The vivid coloring highlights the distinct features of the adult dragonflies, including their vibrant wings and striking body patterns. A red dragonfly with golden-hued wings, a blue-and-yellow striped dragonfly, and a green dragonfly with delicate, iridescent wings are among the prominently displayed species.

The background features finely rendered botanical details, providing context for their habitat.
