EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph, titled "Women Entomologists Catching Butterflies in a Garden," is an enchanting glimpse into the past of the fascinating world of entomology, specifically the study of Lepidoptera or moths and butterflies. The image, published in the mid-19th century by Hippolyte and Polydor Pauquet in their work "Histoire des Papillons" or "History of Butterflies," for the Musee du Naturaliste dedie a la Jeunesse or Museum of Natural History for Youth, depicts a group of women delicately engaging in the art of butterfly catching. The women, dressed in elegant Victorian attire, are seen in a lush garden setting, surrounded by an array of vibrant flowers and foliage. Each woman holds a net in one hand and a jar or container in the other, ready to capture their winged quarry. The serene and almost dreamlike atmosphere of the scene is further enhanced by the soft, hand-painted colors and intricate details. Entomology, the scientific study of insects, was a popular hobby among the affluent classes during the 19th century. The pursuit of collecting and identifying various species of Lepidoptera was considered a refined and intellectual pastime. This image beautifully captures the sense of wonder and excitement that came with this pastime, as well as the dedication and precision required to successfully capture and identify these delicate creatures. The Women Entomologists Catching Butterflies in a Garden lithograph is a captivating and intriguing window into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of entomology during the 19th century and the passion and dedication that drove individuals to explore and document the natural world around them.
