An 1786 German natural history volume by Eugen Johann Christoph Esper, cataloguing European moths, likely for entomologists and collectors, held by Heidelberg University Library. Its hand-coloured plates show caterpillars and moths drawn in careful botanical detail on branches and leaves, offering a designer a model for precise, naturalistic specimen arrangements with plant sprigs and small numbered labels.
