[Schmetterlinge]

1840 · 31 pictures

A German natural history picture book of hand-coloured moths and butterflies, with a caterpillar and pupa shown beside each species, published in 1840 for young readers learning to identify insects. The plates pair a painted moth at top with its caterpillar and chrysalis below, each labelled with a German name and Latin binomial, so a designer can take their clear stacked layout and tidy colour-coded diagrams for a field-guide or educational chart.
