Arranged like colorful and beautiful flower bouquets, these attractive and decorative hand-colored lithographs show, with scientific accuracy, the colorful European world of butterflies and moths. While the scientist finds his Arctiidae, Drepanulidae, Geometridae, Psychidae or Zygaenidae, the lover of beauty finds his eyeful of pleasantry, enjoying multitude and arrangement and the abundance of color
