EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning and intricately detailed print showcases Curtis British Entomology Plate 242, featuring the Pale Clouded Yellow butterfly, Colias hyale. The plate, published between 1824 and 1839, is a testament to the meticulous work of John Curtis FLS (Fellow of the Linnean Society), who dedicated himself to documenting the diverse and captivating world of Lepidoptera, or butterflies, during the 19th century. The Pale Clouded Yellow, with its delicate, almost translucent wings adorned with small black spots and a vibrant orange-yellow hue, is depicted in its natural habitat, surrounded by various wildflowers and foliage. The intricate veining and delicate scales on the butterfly's wings are rendered with exceptional accuracy, providing a glimpse into the beauty and complexity of this enchanting insect. The plate, produced during the 1820s and 1830s, is an invaluable resource for entomologists and natural historians, offering a glimpse into the natural history of Europe during this period. The meticulous attention to detail and the high-quality production techniques employed by Curtis and his team make this print a true masterpiece of natural history illustration. The Pale Clouded Yellow is a migratory butterfly that can be found in Europe, Asia, and North Africa. Its beautiful and distinctive appearance has made it a favorite among collectors and naturalists for centuries. This exquisite print is a must-have for any collection focused on natural history, entomology, or the history of scientific illustration.
