The Story Behind the Print

Blue and Hairstreak Butterflies | Scudder 1889

Eastern Tailed-Blue and azure complex appear on plate 6 of Samuel Hubbard Scudder's The Butterflies of the Eastern United States and Canada (1889). Small blues and hairstreaks form a delicate specimen study with understated color.

This butterfly plate has a centered composition, balanced borders and a continuous warm paper field. It pairs naturally with other plates in Scudder's series.

Premium Archival Quality

Printed to order with archival inks on heavyweight 325gsm museum-grade matte paper.
