Card 29, Heliconia Cydno, from the Butterflies series (N183) issued by Wm. S. Kimball & Co. 1888

"Card 29, Heliconia Cydno" is a chromolithograph from the "Butterflies" series created by Wm. S. Kimball & Co. in 1888. The card depicts a woman with wings, symbolizing a butterfly, and a delicate, ethereal quality. This print, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, is an example of the popular Victorian era fascination with nature, particularly insects and butterflies, which were often depicted in art and literature.
