Restored Vintage Butterfly Art Print – 19th Century Entomology Illustration (Plate 29)

Revel in the exquisite symmetry of this restored vintage butterfly art print, featuring the elegant Urania Sloanus and Urania Leilus. Native to Jamaica and Surinam, these long-tailed moth-like butterflies are captured in deep black with subtle green striping—an alluring combination of drama and delicacy from the golden era of scientific illustration.

Finished with an acid-free antique white mount, this print adds refined character to natural history-inspired interiors or vintage-style gallery walls.
