EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of three butterfly species - Peacock, Small Tortoiseshell, and Comma butterflies. Taken in the 1930s by Vere Temple and published in "Insect Life in Britain" by Geoffrey Taylor in 1945, this image captures the essence of British wildlife with its vibrant colors and intricate details. The delicate wings of these butterflies are a true work of art, displaying an array of patterns and hues that mesmerize any observer. The Peacock butterfly (Vanessa io), Small Tortoiseshell butterfly (Aglais urticae), and Comma butterfly (Polygonia c-album) each possess their own unique charm. Not only does this photograph showcase the adult butterflies in all their glory, but it also provides a glimpse into their life cycle. From chrysalises to caterpillars, every stage is beautifully depicted through Temple's skillful drawing techniques. This print not only serves as a visual delight but also holds historical significance as it represents a snapshot of England's natural history during the mid-20th century. It reminds us of the importance of preserving our environment and appreciating the wonders that nature has to offer. With its combination of artistry, science, and social history, this print is truly a treasure for anyone interested in animal life or British culture. Its timeless appeal transcends decades and continues to captivate viewers even today.
