1836 William Home Lizars Hand-Colored Engraving | Plate 20

This antique natural history print is an original 1836 hand-colored engraving by legendary Scottish master printmaker William Home Lizars. Extracted from the landmark early-Victorian folio volume Jardine's Naturalist's Library: British Moths, this scientific plate accurately details three Lepidoptera species: the Clouded Buff, the Cream-spot Tiger Moth, and the Ruby Tiger Moth.

Produced via premium fine-line intaglio metal plate engraving, the sheet features meticulous hand-applied watercolor washes executed by period colorists to differentiate species patterns. The print exhibits natural, uniform age-toning across the rag paper substrate. It arrives presented in a multi-tier custom archival mat and sits under protective glass inside a dark, stepped wooden frame.
