About the Item
Majestic Victorian Butterfly Illustrations: Rare and Detailed Portraits by Frederic C. Moore
This collection features beautiful 19th-century butterfly lithographs by Frederic C. Moore, renowned for his detailed and lifelike representations of exotic butterflies. These plates, numbered Pl. 137, Pl. 139, and Pl. 147, display various species with striking color patterns and intricate wing structures.
Among the depicted butterflies are species like Kallima paralekta (Leaf Butterfly) with its vivid mimicry of dried leaves, and Euthalia aconthea (Baron Butterfly), celebrated for its iridescent blues and greens. Moore’s incredible artistry brings these butterflies to life, with attention to every scale and vein, combining scientific precision with aesthetic appeal.
Published in 1878, these lithographs not only serve as valuable records of natural history but also as exceptional works of art, capturing the delicate beauty of these creatures.
Condition Report: The prints are well preserved, with rich, vibrant colors. There is minor age-related toning along the edges and some occasional light foxing, which is typical for works of this vintage and does not affect the central image.
