EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely hand-colored lithograph showcases the White Admiral butterfly (Limenitis camilla) in various stages of its life cycle, surrounded by the vibrant goat-leaf honeysuckle (Lonicera caprifolium). The image is taken from Carl Hoffmann's renowned publication, "Das Buch der Welt" or "The Book of the World," published in Stuttgart in 1848. The White Admiral butterfly is a beautiful Lepidopteran species, with its wings adorned with intricate patterns of white, black, and red. The adult butterfly can be seen gracefully perched on the honeysuckle, its wings spread wide, revealing the striking contrast between its vibrant wings and the delicate, green foliage. The lithograph also reveals the transformation of the White Admiral from caterpillar to pupa and finally to a fully-grown butterfly. The caterpillar, with its distinctive green and black stripes, can be seen munching on the honeysuckle leaves, while the pupa, or chrysalis, is shown in its protective casing. The goat-leaf honeysuckle, a member of the Caprifoliaceae family, is depicted in full bloom, with its clusters of small, white flowers adorning the plant. This plant is an essential food source for the White Admiral butterfly, providing nectar for the adults and leaves for the caterpillars. This educational picture is a testament to the intricate relationship between the White Admiral butterfly and the goat-leaf honeysuckle, highlighting the importance of these plants in the natural world. The hand-colored lithograph, with its intricate details and vibrant colors, is a stunning example of the artistry and scientific accuracy of the time.
