Enchanting Victorian Butterfly Lithographs: Vivid Prints of Rare Species, 1878

About the Item

Enchanting Victorian Butterfly Lithographs: Vivid Portraits of Rare Species by Frederic C. Moore These enchanting butterfly lithographs by Frederic C. Moore, drawn in 1878, showcase a stunning collection of butterfly species captured with an incredible level of detail. Among the featured butterflies are species like 'Euripus nyctelius' (Common Courtesan), 'Kallima inachus' (Orange Oakleaf), and 'Charaxes bernardus' (Tawny Rajah). Each butterfly is meticulously portrayed with vivid colors, distinctive wing patterns, and intricate venation that perfectly depicts their natural elegance. The plates, numbered 'Pl. 137', 'Pl. 139', and 'Pl. 147', offer an exquisite look at the variety of butterflies found in Victorian natural history. Moore’s work not only provides valuable scientific insight but also celebrates the enchanting beauty of these species. His artistic accuracy makes these lithographs both informative and visually stunning, ideal for both collectors and natural history enthusiasts. Condition Report: The lithographs are in good condition with vibrant, well-preserved colors. Some minor age toning and slight foxing are present along the edges, but these do not detract from the overall beauty of the prints.
