We are pleased to offer prints
from this beautifully drawn & hand
colored monograph of over 1100
butterflies and moths on 48 plates.
It is the most beautiful of the
author’s works on butterflies,
showing them through their life
stages. Many are exotic species. It
is the first edition, published in
1842 in Stuttgart, Germany by
Hoffmann.
Each hand coloured lithograph
measures about 71/4 inches by 8 ½
inches on softly aged white paper
with very few blemishes. The prints
have original, vibrant hand
colouring. |
