(Band 1, Tafeln): De plaaten I - XCVI
Cramer and Stoll's Dutch plate volume of 1779, published in Amsterdam, presents numbered hand-coloured engravings of exotic butterflies for collectors and naturalists. The pictures show butterflies with spread wings, rendered in precise line and washes of colour, with patterned eyespots, banded wings and pale translucent panels that a designer could draw on for natural pattern, colour palettes or botanical-style illustration.
