Card 33, Papilio Podalirius, from the Butterflies series (N183) issued by Wm. S. Kimball & Co. 1888

This chromolithograph, part of the *Butterflies* series by William S. Kimball & Company, features a woman with the wings of a *Papilio Podalirius*, a type of swallowtail butterfly. The intricate details of the butterfly's wings are beautifully rendered, and the woman's flowing gown and delicate features contribute to the overall sense of grace and beauty. This card, printed in 1888, is a charming example of the popular Victorian trend of incorporating natural motifs into decorative art. The card is a testament to the artistry of the Kimball & Company, who captured the beauty of nature in a captivating and visually striking way.
