1860 Humphries, Westwood British Butterflies Peacock Butterfly Original Print

Description: Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE 1860 Humphries & Westwood British ButterfliesHenry Noel Humphreys (1810–1879), was a British illustrator, naturalist, entomologist, and numismatist. Humphreys, who studied medieval manuscripts in Italy as a young man, became an accomplished scholar in numerous subjects. In addition to his entomological texts, Humphreys wrote works on ancient Greek and Roman coins, archaeology, and the art of writing and printing.John Obadiah Westwood (1805-1893) was a fellow of the Linnaean Society and one of the founders of the Entomological Society. He published many papers and 20 books, also editing and contributing the text in collaborations such as this work.Each print is in good condition on toned, thick paper with some foxing as shown. These prints are quite rare, as the work is not often seen. Each print measures approximately 8 1/4 inches by 11 inches. These images are very accurate, so please review carefully. All our prints are authentic antique prints and guaranteed to be from the date stated. These prints are about 170 years old. About Antique Prints We try to select antique prints in the best possible condition, with as few defects as possible. Nevertheless, these prints are often hundreds of years old and show the effects of time, as noted below 1. Most common is paper darkening, or toning, resulting in the paper becoming shades darker, from off white to light brown. We rarely offer very toned prints, unless the issue is particularly scarce. 2. Text offset occurs over time, when the text page is against the image and ink from the text makes lines on the image. Conversely, image offset occurs when the hand coloring transfers slightly to the text. Again, we rarely offer heavily offset prints. 3. Spotted or foxing is also common due to age and handling over a long period of time and while a small degree of foxing is common and acceptable, we avoid extensively foxed prints. SHIPPING Shipping is first class and we pack the prints flat and well protected in foam core, unless they are large, when we very carefully roll them with several protective layers. They roll out flat very quickly. RETURNS Items May be Returned for a Full Refund within 30 days.
