Clear allAbout Moths and Butterflies of the United States
Denton, an American naturalist and illustrator, made his plates by nature printing: the scales of real wings were transferred onto the paper, and the bodies were painted in by hand. The wings therefore carry the colour and texture of the insects themselves, and many species are shown from above and below.
Giant silk moths form the core of the collection: cecropia, polyphemus, a male promethea and the cynthia moth, the last on two plates, one for each side. The butterflies include the monarch, the great spangled and Atlantis fritillaries, the gulf fritillary and Paphia troglodyta. Plates from other natural history books add the death’s-head hawkmoth, two sheets of exotic butterflies and a chart titled “Papillons”. All are reproduced as giclée prints in pigment inks, each made to order in Berlin on matte 210 g/m² fine art paper or 400 g/m² cotton canvas, A4 to A0.
