Plates from 'Exotic Moths' by James Duncan, 1843 at NYPL. About half the illustrations are shown and all the images, except for the first, are displayed at full size. ['Exotic Moths' was Vol. XXXVII of 'The Naturalist's Library' (Vol. VII Entomology)]
Previously: The Marshal Insect Album; In a Manner Lepidopterus; {Science}.
Via Armchair Aquarium - great to see them resume after a long hiatus.
