EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured steel engraving, created by the Pauquet brothers and based on an illustration by Alexis Nicolas Noel for Hippolyte Lucas' Natural History of European Butterflies, showcases a charming assembly of six different butterfly species found in meadows and woodlands across Europe. The central figure is the Meadow Brown, Maniola jurtina, with its distinctive orange wings adorned with black borders and eyespots. To its left, the Eudore, Satyrus eudora, displays its intricately patterned wings, while the Ringlet, Epinephele hyperanthus, flaunts its striking black and orange rings. Adorning the bottom right corner is the Speckled Wood, Pararge aegeria, with its speckled wings and distinctive orange markings. The Eudore and Speckled Wood are both members of the Satyridae family, known for their earthy coloration, which helps them blend in with their woodland habitats. This stunning artwork, produced in 1864, is a testament to the intricate detail and beauty of these creatures, which continue to captivate naturalists and enthusiasts alike. The Pauquet brothers' masterful engraving techniques bring the delicate patterns and colors of these butterflies to life, offering a glimpse into the rich biodiversity of Europe's natural world. The Natural History of European Butterflies, or Histoire Naturelle des Lepidopteres d'Europe, was a groundbreaking work that aimed to document and classify all known European butterfly species. This engraving is a beautiful example of the meticulous research and artistic skill that went into creating this comprehensive and visually stunning record of European butterflies.
