About the Item
Victorian Butterfly Treasures: Captivating Hand-Colored Lithographs by Frederic C. Moore
Description: This exquisite set of lithographs by Frederic C. Moore, created in 1878, offers a breathtaking look at diverse butterfly species, captured in stunning detail and vibrant color. The plates—Pl. 186, Pl. 188, and Pl. 190—depict various species, each with distinctive features that highlight the beauty of the natural world. The butterflies include 'Charaxes tiridates' (White-barred Emperor), 'Euploea core' (Common Indian Crow), and 'Hebomoia glaucippe' (Great Orange Tip), showcasing the range of colors, from the delicate blues to the bold contrasting patterns of black and white. Moore’s attention to the intricate wing structures and naturalistic postures brings these butterflies to life, allowing for both an artistic and scientific appreciation. His work exemplifies the Victorian fascination with natural history and stands as a testament to the beauty and diversity of butterflies.
Condition Report: The lithographs are in good condition, with colors that remain vibrant. Some light age-related toning and minimal foxing are present along the edges, typical of prints from this era, but they do not affect the quality of the central images.
