Card 10, Grapta Comma, from the Butterflies series (N183) issued by Wm. S. Kimball & Co. 1888

This colorful lithograph from the "Butterflies" series, published by Wm. S. Kimball & Co. in 1888, features a charming woman with butterfly wings. The woman is depicted wearing a red dress and standing against a soft blue background. The image is reminiscent of the "Art Nouveau" style, with its organic forms and delicate details. While the woman represents a fictional character, the butterfly wings are a realistic portrayal of the Grapta comma, a type of butterfly commonly found in North America. The card was part of a larger set issued by Kimball & Co., likely for use as trading cards, a popular pastime in the late 19th century.
