Butterflies 1903 - 1919

"Butterflies," a lithograph by Arie Willem Segboer from 1903-1919, depicts four different species of butterflies in their natural habitat. Segboer's meticulous attention to detail captures the intricate patterns of the butterfly wings, the delicate petals of the flowers, and the lush greenery of the foliage. The print, measuring 439 mm by 343 mm, is likely from a series of educational prints for children, with the inscription "'s Gravenhage. Uitg. A. W. SEGBOER" indicating its origin and publisher. This lithograph is a vibrant and informative illustration that celebrates the beauty of nature and the diversity of the insect world.
