{"product_id":"moths-lepidoptera-heterocera-plate-10-by-frederick-ducane-godman-1879","title":"Moths (Lepidoptera: Heterocera, Plate 10) by Frederick DuCane Godman, 1879","description":"\u003cp\u003eInsecta Lepidoptera-Heterocera Pl 010 (1879-1915) by Frederick DuCane Godman is a quintessential Victorian zoological illustration first issued in 1879. Created during a golden age of natural-history publishing, this plate embraces the scientific rigor and visual elegance that defined 19th-century entomology. Set against a crisp white ground, carefully arranged specimens—principally moths, the Heterocera of classical taxonomy—reveal minute structural traits, wing patterning, and color variations that made such works invaluable to researchers and collectors alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis listing offers a museum-quality fine art print from The Unique Maps Co., produced on acid-free archival paper or artist’s cotton canvas for luminous color and long-term stability. Choose from a range of sizes to suit intimate nooks or statement walls. Framing options are available, and our studio can personalize the piece—such as adding a title plate, subtle plate number, or a dedication—to create a bespoke presentation tailored to your space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrederick DuCane Godman (1834–1919) was an English naturalist and collector renowned for his contributions to the study of Lepidoptera. A leading figure in late-19th-century natural history, he helped shape a period when expeditions, specimen exchange, and meticulous documentation transformed how the natural world was understood and classified. His name is closely associated with ambitious cataloging projects and collections that later formed the backbone of institutional research.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis specific plate is notable for the clarity with which it serves both study and display. Designed for side-by-side comparison, the specimens are oriented to highlight morphology—wing spans, delicate antennae, and body forms—so that differences in spotting, banding, and edging read at a glance. The logical layout communicates a visual taxonomy: an elegant grid of nature’s variety that captures the spirit of Victorian inquiry and its fascination with biodiversity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA restrained yet vivid palette makes this print especially compelling on the wall. Against the white field, sulfur-yellow markings and cool blue notes punctuate the naturalistic browns and blacks, while precise linework records the powdery texture of wings and the crisp geometry of patterning. The result is both scientifically faithful and aesthetically serene—equally at home in a study, library, or contemporary living room. Collectors of natural history, lovers of entomology, and admirers of Victorian art will appreciate how the composition balances information and beauty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a gift, this print is a thoughtful choice for Christmas, Father’s Day, Mother’s Day, a housewarming, or for anyone returning from travels inspired by the natural world. It offers a timeless blend of scholarship and style—an heirloom-quality piece that celebrates the enduring dialogue between art and science.\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.
