EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured lithograph showcases five exquisite African butterflies: the White-banded Palla (Palla decius), Common Green Charaxes (Charaxes eupale), and African Map Butterfly (Cyrestis camillus). The upper side of the White-banded Palla is depicted in the first image, displaying its distinctive white bands and orange wings. The reverse side, shown in the second image, reveals its understated brown and grey underwings. The Common Green Charaxes, illustrated in the third image, boasts vibrant green wings adorned with intricate black patterns. The African Map Butterfly, depicted in the fourth image, is characterized by its striking orange and black wings, which resemble the outline of a map. This artwork is from the new edition of Dru Drury's Illustrations of Exotic Entomology, published by Bohn in London in 1837. The meticulous hand-colouring brings out the intricate details of each butterfly's wings, providing a breathtaking representation of their natural beauty. The White-banded Palla, also known as the White-banded Swallowtail, is native to Central and West Africa. The Common Green Charaxes can be found in tropical Africa, while the African Map Butterfly is widespread across the African continent. These butterflies play essential roles in their ecosystems as pollinators and are cherished for their captivating beauty. This lithograph serves as a testament to the rich biodiversity of African butterflies and the remarkable artistry of the past, offering a glimpse into the natural world that continues to inspire and captivate us.
