About the Item
Vibrant Victorian Butterfly Lithographs: Delicate Portraits by Frederic C. Moore
This remarkable pair of lithographs, created by Frederic C. Moore in 1878, showcases the incredible diversity of butterfly species with their unique colorations and patterns.
The plates, Pl. 220 and Pl. 222, feature a variety of stunning butterflies, including 'Euripus nyctelius' (Courtesan), known for its striking brown and white banded wings, and 'Cethosia cyane' (Leopard Lacewing), admired for its vibrant mosaic of colors, blending blues, greens, and yellows.
Each butterfly is rendered with meticulous attention to detail, capturing the characteristic wing structures and subtle nuances of their patterns. These lithographs reflect the Victorian fascination with the natural world, combining scientific accuracy with artistic beauty, making them perfect for collectors of natural history art.
Condition Report: The lithographs are in good condition, with vibrant colors that remain clear. Light age toning and minor foxing are present along the edges, which is typical for items of this age, but these do not detract from the beauty of the illustrations.
