EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured lithograph depicts a collection of intricately detailed butterfly species, including the Cracker butterfly, Hamadryas arethusa, Panara jarbas, and Symmachia menetas eurina. The Cracker butterfly, shown on the upper left side, is characterized by its vibrant orange wings with black borders and distinctive white spots. On the opposite side, the underwing of the Cracker butterfly is displayed, revealing its unique camouflage pattern that resembles a dead leaf. Adjacent to the Cracker butterfly is the Panara jarbas, with its striking green and black wings adorned with white spots and a distinctive red border. The Symmachia menetas eurina, located on the right side of the print, boasts beautiful blue and orange wings with black markings. This exquisite illustration is taken from John O. Westwood's new edition of Dru Drury's Illustrations of Exotic Entomology, published by Bohn in London in 1837. Westwood was a renowned English naturalist and entomologist, known for his extensive work in documenting the natural history of various insect species. The meticulous attention to detail in this handcoloured lithograph is a testament to the dedication and expertise of Westwood and his team. The Cracker butterfly, Hamadryas arethusa, and its companions, the Panara jarbas and Symmachia menetas eurina, are fascinating examples of the diverse and intricate beauty that can be found in the natural world. This image offers a glimpse into the rich biodiversity of the insect kingdom, as documented by one of the most accomplished naturalists of the 19th century.
