EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored steel engraving showcases an enchanting array of Fritillary butterfly varieties, meticulously captured by the Pauquet brothers and illustrated by Alexis Nicolas Noel for Hippolyte Lucas's "Histoire Naturelle des Lepidopteres d'Europe" published in 1864. The depicted species include the Marbled Fritillary (Brenthis daphne), Lesser Marbled Fritillary (Brenthis ino), Brenthis fritillary (possibly the Pearled-bordered Fritillary, Boloria euphrosyne), and the Violet Fritillary (Boloria dia). The Marbled Fritillary, with its intricate patterns of orange, black, and white, is a sight to behold. The Lesser Marbled Fritillary, a smaller variant, boasts similar markings but with a more subtle color palette. The Pearled-bordered Fritillary, also known as the Weaver, displays striking orange wings with black borders adorned with tiny pearls. The Brenthis fritillary, possibly the Pearled-bordered Fritillary, is depicted with its wings spread wide, revealing the intricate patterns on its underside. The Violet Fritillary, with its delicate wings speckled with violet, completes this collection. The Pauquet brothers' masterful steel engraving technique and Alexis Nicolas Noel's meticulous illustration bring these beautiful creatures to life, providing a window into the natural world of the late 19th century. This stunning print is a testament to the artists' dedication to documenting the natural history of Europe's Lepidoptera species, making it an essential addition to any collection of natural history or entomology.
