(Band 4, Tafeln): De plaaten CCLXXXIX - CCCC
This is a plate volume of moths and butterflies from Pieter Cramer and Caspar Stoll, published in Amsterdam in 1782 as part of an illustrated natural history of exotic Lepidoptera for collectors and naturalists. The pictures show numbered specimens shown with wings open and closed, rendered in hand-coloured engraving on cream paper, with brown, ochre and blue wing patterns that suggest eyespots, banding and scalloped edges for textile or pattern work.
