Title Page from 'Histoire Naturelle des Lepidopteres de Europe' (Natural History of European Butterflies) by Hippolyte Lucas, featuring decorative calligraphy among flowers and butterflies. This exquisite title page is an intricate hand-colored steel engraving, created by the Pauquet brothers after an original illustration by Alexis Nicolas Noel. The design showcases a harmonious blend of art and science, with delicate floral motifs and graceful butterflies, or 'papillons,' intertwined amongst the calligraphy.

This title page serves as a beautiful introduction to the comprehensive work by Lucas, which was published in 1864.
