EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning illustration, dated 1898, showcases an enchanting array of Satyridae butterflies and moths, gracefully perched upon the delicate branches of Barren Brome (Bromus sterilis). The Satyridae family, also known as the Browns, includes the Hipparchia species, represented here by Circe, Hermione, Briseis, and Cordula, as well as the Erebia species, with Medusa, Epiphron, Aethiops, Ligea, and Galathea depicted. The intricate markings on their wings, ranging from bold patterns to subtle gradations, add to their allure. The late Victorian era, during which this illustration was created, was a time of great fascination with the natural world. The delicate balance between the butterflies and the barren brome plant highlights the interconnectedness of various elements in the natural world. The branches, with their slender, curved lines, provide a perfect backdrop for the butterflies and moths, their wings spread wide in a display of beauty and grace. The Satyridae family, with over 2,500 described species, is one of the largest families of butterflies and moths. Their wide distribution, ranging from the Arctic to the tropics, makes them a fascinating subject for naturalists and collectors alike. This illustration serves as a testament to the beauty and diversity of the natural world, captured in intricate detail over a century ago.
