EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored steel engraving, created by the Pauquet brothers and based on an illustration by Alexis Nicolas Noel for Hippolyte Lucas's "Histoire Naturelle des Lepidopteres d'Europe" (Natural History of European Butterflies) published in 1864, showcases four exquisite species of European butterflies: the Dryad, Striped Grayling, Great Sooty Satyr, and the Minois Dryas. The Dryad, depicted in the center, is a large and elegant moth with a wingspan of up to 10 centimeters. Its wings are adorned with intricate patterns of brown and orange, resembling the bark of a tree, making it an excellent camouflage in its woodland habitat. To the left, the Striped Grayling, or Hipparchia fidia, is shown with its wings spread wide. This small butterfly is characterized by its wings' distinctive black and white stripes, which provide excellent camouflage against the forest floor. On the right, the Great Sooty Satyr, or Satyrus ferula, is depicted with its wings folded. This large and striking butterfly is easily identified by its dark, sooty wings, which are covered in small white spots. The Minois Dryas, or the Striped Grayling, is shown in the bottom left corner. This small, delicate butterfly is characterized by its wings' intricate patterns of brown and white, which resemble the bark of a tree. This beautiful engraving showcases the intricate details and vibrant colors of these butterflies and moths, making it a must-have for any nature enthusiast or collector of historical scientific illustrations.
