Antique Butterfly Pair Satyrus Statilinus Sepp Brants 1905 Handcolor NOTE: WE SELL THE PRINTS UNFRAMED. THE PRINTS ARE ORIGINAL AND GUARANTEED OVER 100 YEARS OLD. This refined matching pair of antique butterfly engravings originates from Parts 1–2 of the rare third and final series of 'Nederlandsche Vlinders', published in The Hague by Martinus Nijhoff between 1905 and 1913. The work was executed under the direction of A. Brants as a continuation of the legendary Sepp tradition in Dutch entomological illustration, first begun in 1728. This late series represents the final chapter of one of the most important illustrated natural history projects ever produced in the Netherlands. Both plates depict the life cycle of Satyrus Statilinus, showing the butterfly in multiple wing positions alongside detailed studies of caterpillar, chrysalis, egg, and host plant. The scientific accuracy is paired with remarkably subtle hand coloring, revealing soft browns, muted greens, and carefully shaded contours. These plates reflect the transition from the great 18th-century copper engraving tradition into early 20th-century scientific illustration while fully preserving artisanal coloring techniques. This offering includes not only the two original hand-colored copper engravings, but also the complete original printed text leaves (in Dutch language) from Part 1–2, allowing the set to be preserved as a true historical entomological unit rather than isolated decorative prints. The plates come from the library of the noted Dutch lepidopterist Jan Hendrik Ernst Wittpen (1878–1956), with his library stamp present, adding strong scientific provenance. The third series of Sepp’s butterflies is markedly rarer on the market than the earlier volumes and is highly sought after by collectors of natural history, scientific art, and museum-quality wall decor. Presented as a matching diptych, this pair works especially well for libraries, studies, and refined contemporary interiors where historical scientific imagery adds quiet authority and warmth. Condition report Both engravings and accompanying text leaves are in excellent, near-mint condition. Clean impressions, fresh original hand coloring, strong plate marks visible, no foxing, no tears, no stains. Exceptionally well preserved. Framing tips This pair is ideally suited for a horizontal diptych presentation. Use soft ivory or warm light-grey museum matting with slim walnut, bronze, or muted gilt frames. Museum glass is strongly recommended to preserve the original coloring. Hanging the two plates with 4–6 cm spacing creates a balanced and elegant wall composition. NOTE: WE SELL THE PRINTS UNFRAMED.
