(Band 3)
This volume of hand-coloured butterfly plates was compiled by Jacob Hübner and published in 1806 in German-speaking Europe, drawing on Heidelberg University Library's holdings for natural history students and collectors. Its pictures show swallowtails and other butterflies, with pale background and precise veins and outlines that a designer could take as a clean reference for botanical-style illustration, with bold black wings set against warm yellow, orange and brown accents.
