Donovan Butterfly Prints & Moth Prints 1796

 

Yellow Tail Moth DOM10 $75

We are pleased to offer moth & butterfly prints from Edward Donovan’s great work on insects, published in 1796-1811. These volumes are particularly prized for the artistry and composition of each print, and the beauty and intensity of the fine hand coloring. The condition of these prints is remarkable for a work that is over 200 years old. There is little or no foxing, with characteristic strong plate marks on Whatman paper that is a soft aged white. Some sheets bear 1794 to 1810 Whatman watermarks. The photos are very accurate, so please review carefully. The photos do not do justice to the intense color and incredible detail of these prints.  

Each print is accompanied by the descriptive text and a copy of the title page. Each print measures approximately 5 1/2 inches wide by 9 1/4 inches long.
