EDITORS COMMENTS
A Suburban Butterfly Hunt captures the essence of a joyous summer day in the 19th century. In this chromolitho print, we are transported to a picturesque suburban setting where butterfly collectors embark on an unexpected adventure. The scene unfolds with a group of respectable tradesmen, armed with nets and cameras, eagerly pursuing their fluttering prey across a well-manicured lawn. The pursuit is not without its challenges as these amateur entomologists find themselves rudely disturbed by wasps and other insects that fall victim to their enthusiastic chase. Amidst all the commotion, one can't help but notice the dreamer among them - a happy soul who seems more interested in angling for butterflies than capturing them. His carefree demeanor adds an element of whimsy to this otherwise bustling scene. As they walk through the grass, carefully focussing on each delicate creature, there is an air of gaiety and good mood that permeates throughout. The sight of colorful nymphalis urticae, aglais urticae, peacock butterflies, and red admirals brings forth emotions of happiness and joy. In this moment captured by Messers Len's lens for The Graphic magazine in 1889, we witness both the excitement of the hunt and the simple pleasures found in nature's beauty. It serves as a reminder that even amidst our daily pursuits and business enterprises, there is always room for moments of pure delight.
