Pierre-Hippolyte Lucas – Entomological plates of exotic butterflies

Pierre-Hippolyte Lucas (1814-1899) was a 19th ^- century French entomologist and illustrator, renowned for his major work, *Histoire Naturelle des Lépidoptères exotiques* , published in 1835. This reference book brings together sumptuous plates of butterflies, engraved on steel and then hand-colored from life, which bear witness to both the scientific rigor and artistic refinement of the time.
