This fine Butterflies antique print epitomizes Humphreys\' love of Moths and Butterflies. Humphreys wrote:\"The study of natural history is the learning of the characters with which the wonderful story of nature is written...cannot conceive a more pleasing and natural introduction to its general study than entomology,of which I think the division of Lepidoptera... the most easy and attractive section.\"
