EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely hand-colored steel engraving, created by the Pauquet brothers and based on an illustration by Alexis Nicolas Noel for Hippolyte Lucas's "Natural History of European Butterflies" (Histoire Naturelle des Lepidopteres d'Europe), showcases two remarkable moths, the Oleander Hawkmoth (Daphnis nerii) and the Hummingbird Moth or White-lined Sphinx (Hyles lineata). Both moths are depicted gracefully perched on oleander leaves, a fitting choice as their namesake plant provides them with essential nectar. The Oleander Hawkmoth, with its striking orange and black wings adorned with intricate white patterns, is a common sight in the Mediterranean region. Its long proboscis enables it to reach deep into the flowers to feed on their nectar. The moth's wingspan measures around 7 centimeters, making it a formidable presence in the garden. The Hummingbird Moth, as its name suggests, mimics the behavior of hummingbirds with its long, extended proboscis, which it uses to reach the nectar in flowers. Its wingspan is slightly larger, measuring around 8 centimeters. The White-lined Sphinx is widespread across Europe, North America, and Asia. The intricate details in this engraving, showcasing the delicate wings and intricate body structures of these moths, offer a glimpse into the natural world's beauty and complexity. The Pauquet brothers' masterful technique and Noel's keen observation skills have resulted in a stunning representation of these captivating creatures. This engraving is a testament to the artistry and scientific curiosity of the 19th century, making it a valuable addition to any collection of natural history or entomology.
