The colored wood
engravings (xylographs ) from
the History of British Butterlies & The History of British
Moths, first published in 1864 by George Bell, London. These
exquisite wood engravings, or xylographs, were made from multiple
blocks, prepared and printed by Benjamin Fawcett, and based on
watercolors of A. Francis Lydon. Contained 71 hand coloured plates,
2 plain plates
Morris wrote the text for books which were
financed and printed
by Fawcett, and were illustrated by Alexander Francis Lydon
(1836-1917). Colour printing showed an enormous improvement on the
work of Thomas Bewick (1753-1828). At first wood-engraving
illustrations were coloured by hand, but later a system of
colouring from multiple wood blocks was used.
***These are from
either book and as the main
obvious sign is the antennae I am leaving people to decide re
Butterfly or Moth . . if crucial will identify but for most who
want a decorative print it is not
vital***
