The Story Behind the Print
Monarch and Admiral Caterpillars | Scudder 1889
Monarch, Viceroy, Mourning Cloak and Red Admiral larvae appear on plate 74 of Samuel Hubbard Scudder's The Butterflies of the Eastern United States and Canada (1889). Caterpillars of many sizes mingle with botanical fragments in a richly detailed stage study.
This caterpillar plate has a centered composition, balanced borders and a continuous warm paper field. It pairs naturally with other plates in Scudder's series.
