EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely hand-colored lithograph captures the enchanting beauty of five different species of Fritillary butterflies: the Queen of Spain Fritillary (Issoria lathonia), the Dark Green Fritillary (Argynnis aglaja), the Silver-washed Fritillary (Argynnis paphia), the Small Pearl-bordered Fritillary (Argynnis petit), and the Large Pearl-bordered Fritillary (Argynnis grand). Each butterfly is depicted in stunning detail, with their intricate wing patterns and delicate bodies rendered in rich colors. The lithograph, housed in the Musée du Naturaliste, was created during the 19th century and showcases the artistry and scientific precision of the time. The Queen of Spain Fritillary, with its dark background and vibrant orange wings, is featured in the center, surrounded by the other species. The Dark Green Fritillary, with its dark green wings speckled with orange, is shown to the left, while the Silver-washed Fritillary, with its silver-edged wings, is depicted to the right. The Small Pearl-bordered Fritillary, with its black and orange wings adorned with pearly white borders, is located at the bottom left, and the Large Pearl-bordered Fritillary, with its larger wings and similar coloration, is situated at the bottom right. The intricate details of the butterflies' wings and bodies are brought to life through the skillful use of hand-coloring, adding an extra layer of beauty and depth to the lithograph. The naturalistic setting in which the butterflies are depicted, with their wings spread against a background of leaves and flowers, further enhances their allure and captivates the viewer's imagination. This beautiful and rare lithograph is a testament to the fascination and appreciation of the natural world during the 19th century, and serves as a reminder of the delicate balance and intricacy of the natural world that continues to inspire and captivate us today.
