{"product_id":"insecta-lepidoptera-heterocera-pl-064-by-frederick-ducane-godman-1879","title":"Insecta Lepidoptera-Heterocera Pl 064 by Frederick DuCane Godman, 1879","description":"\u003cp\u003eInsecta Lepidoptera–Heterocera Pl 064 by Frederick DuCane Godman (1879) is a quintessential Victorian zoological illustration that marries scientific precision with quiet beauty. Godman, an English naturalist of the 19th century, helped shape the era’s ambitious cataloging of biodiversity, and this plate reflects that mission: a measured, methodical arrangement of moths rendered in faithful colour and line so they could be studied, compared, and classified. Against a clean white ground, each specimen is crisply delineated, prioritizing accurate observation over flourish—exactly the sort of visual evidence that powered the great taxonomic projects of the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis listing is for a high-quality fine art print produced by The Unique Maps Co., available on acid-free archival paper or on artist’s cotton canvas with richly pigmented inks for long-lasting colour. Choose from a range of sizes to suit your space, with optional framing and matting. We also offer thoughtful personalization—such as a custom title line, plate notation, or dedication—so your print arrives ready to hang and perfectly tailored to your interior.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout the artist: Frederick DuCane Godman (1834–1919) was a leading British naturalist, collector, and patron whose work championed the close study of Lepidoptera (moths and butterflies). He belonged to a generation that brought new rigor to natural history, often focusing on regions newly documented by European science. His name is associated with projects that advanced the classification and understanding of insect life and helped set standards for scientific illustration in print.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhy this plate matters: In the late 19th century—an age of exploration and expanding specimen collections—plates like this were indispensable. They served as visual keys for researchers and passionate amateurs alike, guiding identification and comparison before colour photography existed. The orderly, taxonomic presentation of multiple moths on one sheet illustrates both diversity and relationships within Heterocera (the traditional grouping for moths), capturing a historical moment when naturalists were building the foundation of modern entomology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesign, colour, and the appeal of ownership: The composition is symmetrical and balanced, with each moth occupying deliberate, evenly spaced positions that facilitate side-by-side study. A restrained palette of warm beiges and soft browns is punctuated by gentle orange markings, all held on a bright white field that heightens clarity. Fine, meticulous strokes describe delicate wing venation and subtle textures—details that reward close looking. Visually, it’s a calming, neutral piece that pairs beautifully with contemporary or classic interiors; intellectually, it bridges art and science, making it a compelling statement for a study, library, or gallery wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis timeless natural history print makes a thoughtful gift for entomologists, teachers, and nature lovers, as well as fans of Victorian art and design. It’s ideal for Christmas, Father’s Day, Mother’s Day, a housewarming, or to celebrate someone who has recently traveled to biodiverse regions such as Central America and returned inspired by the beauty of the natural world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you're not sure what size to order, or you're looking for a custom order of some kind \u003cspan\u003e–\u003c\/span\u003e a different size, a different colour, a special frame \u003cspan\u003e–\u003c\/span\u003e then please \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/contact-us\"\u003econtact me\u003c\/a\u003e.
