EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured steel engraving showcases three captivating butterfly species: the Painted Lady (Vanessa cardui), False Comma (Nymphalis vaualbum), and Comma (Polygonia c-album). The image is a masterpiece from the Natural History of European Butterflies, Histoire Naturelle des Lepidopteres d'Europe, published by Hippolyte Lucas in 1864. The Painted Lady, also known as the Red Admiral, is a migratory butterfly that can be found throughout Europe, North Africa, and Asia. Its wings display vibrant orange, black, and white patterns, making it a popular sight for nature enthusiasts. The False Comma, or Pale Comma, is another European butterfly species, characterized by its distinctive black and white wing markings. The Comma, also known as the Angle Shaded, is a similar species with a more complex pattern of black and orange lines. The engraving was produced by the Pauquet brothers, based on an illustration by Alexis Nicolas Noel. The intricate details of the butterflies' wings are beautifully captured through the handcolouring technique, adding depth and realism to the image. This engraving is not only a stunning work of art but also an essential contribution to the scientific record of European butterflies. The Natural History of European Butterflies was a groundbreaking publication that documented various butterfly species and their habitats, providing valuable information for both scientific research and conservation efforts.
