Antique 1843 Henry Noel Humphreys Hand-Colored Lithograph Print, Plate 36

This natural history print is an original 1843 hand-colored lithograph by legendary British print artist Henry Noel Humphreys. Sourced from the prestigious volume British Moths and their Transformations, this scientific plate provides detailed entomological and botanical records, charting various British moth species, pupae, and larvae alongside their native host vegetation.

Printed via traditional stone lithography on heavy mid-commemorative woven rag paper, the engraving features fine, historical hand-applied watercolor washes that highlight individual wing patterns. The print exhibits natural, uniform age-toning across the sheet face. It is professionally housed in a custom cream archival mat and is framed securely under protective glass within an elegant, gilded metallic gold-leaf gallery frame.
