Beskrivning

This set includes two vibrant chromolithographic plates from Adalbert Seitz’s renowned entomological series Die Gross-Schmetterlinge der Erde (The Macrolepidoptera of the World), published in Stuttgart between 1909 and 1915 by Fritz Lehmann's Verlag. One plate features Hestina kallima, a striking butterfly with orange and black markings and leaf-mimicking camouflage. The second highlights Junonia eriboea, a colorful tropical species known for its vivid wing patterns. These scientifically precise and visually stunning illustrations exemplify the golden age of entomological art.

Adalbert Seitz (1860–1938) was a renowned German entomologist and lepidopterist. His multi-volume publication on the world’s butterflies and moths remains a cornerstone of entomological literature. Seitz’s plates are celebrated for their taxonomic clarity and visual brilliance, documenting thousands of species from every continent and contributing significantly to the classification and global study of Lepidoptera.
