Beautiful Butterflies

These beautiful butterflies are from Plate 54 in Histoire Naturelle des Lépidoptères Exotiques (1835) by Pierre-Hippolyte Lucas (17 January 1814 – 5 July 1899). Lucas was a French entomologist, who worked at the Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle.

Histoire Naturelle des Lépidoptères Exotiques was a serial publication in 20 parts that contains 80 hand-colored plates with descriptions and illustrations of non-European butterflies, including many species from South America, Australia, or Asia.

Plate 54 showcases 3 species of butterflies that are likely to be known currently as:

Scarce Bamboo Page, Philaethria dido

Lacewing butterfly, Cethosia lamarckii

Lacewing butterfly, Cethosia leschenaultii

View more beautiful plates from this work in Biodiversity Heritage Library‘s Flickr album. Smithsonian Libraries and Archives digitized this work for BHL and added it to their Flickr collection.

Irish dress history sources online:

A list of sources for Irish dress history research that free to access on the internet:

Primary and period sources:

Text Sources:

Corpus of Electronic Texts (CELT): a database of historical texts from or about Ireland. Most have both their original text and, where applicable, an English translation. Authors include: Francisco de Cuellar, Luke Gernon, John Dymmok, Thomas Gainsford, Fynes Moryson, Edmund Spenser, Laurent Vital, Tadhg Dall Ó hUiginn

Images:

The Edwin Rae Collection: A collection of photographs of Irish carvings dating 1300-1600 taken by art historian Edwin Rae in the mid-20th c. Includes tomb effigies and other figural art.

National Library of Ireland: Has a nice collection of 18th-20th c. Irish art and photographs. Search their catalog or browse their flickr.

Irish Script on Screen: A collection of scans of medieval Irish manuscripts, including The Book of Ballymote.

The Book of Kells: Scans of the whole thing.

The Image of Irelande, with a Discoverie of Woodkarne by John Derricke published 1581. A piece of anti-Irish propaganda that should be used with caution. Illustrations. Complete text.

Secondary sources:

Irish History from Contemporary Sources (1509-1610) by Constantia Maxwell published 1923. Contains a nice collection of primary source quotes, but it sometimes modernizes the 16th c. English in ways that are detrimental to the accuracy, like changing 'cote' to 'coat'. The original text for many of them can be found on CELT, archive.org, or google books.

An Historical Essay on the Dress of the Ancient and Modern Irish By Joseph Cooper Walker published 1788. Makes admirable use of primary sources, but because of Walker's assumption that Irish dress didn't change for the entirety of the Middle Ages, it is significantly flawed in a lot of its conclusions. Mostly only useful now for historiography. I discussed the images in this book here.

Chapter 18: Dress and Personal Adornment from A Smaller Social History of Ancient Ireland by P. W. Joyce published 1906. Suffers from similar problems to An Historical Essay on the Dress of the Ancient and Modern Irish.

Consumption and Material Culture in Sixteenth-Century Ireland Susan Flavin's 2011 doctoral thesis. A valuable source on the kinds of materials that were available in 16th c Ireland.

A Descriptive Catalogue of the Antiquities in the Museum of the Royal Irish Academy Volumes 1 and 2 by William Wilde, published 1863. Obviously outdated, and some of Wilde's conclusions are wrong, because archaeologists didn't know how to date things in the 19th century, but his descriptions of the individual artifacts are worthwhile. Frustratingly, this is still the best catalog available to the public for the National Museum of Ireland Archaeology. Idk why the NMI doesn't have an online catalog, a lot museums do nowadays.

Volume I: Articles of stone, earthen, vegetable and animal materials; and of copper and bronze

In Wraps Five by Pekka Nikrus

[mutant-distraction]

Photographed during low tide at 'Hidden Beach' in Monterey by Mike Shaw, California, this vibrant sea anemone was captured using a Canon 40D and a Tokina 10-17mm Fisheye Lens.

Sea anemones are fascinating creatures that belong to the phylum Cnidaria, which also includes jellyfish and coral. They are named after the anemone flower due to their colorful and delicate appearance.

Sea anemones are found in oceans all around the world, from shallow waters to depths of over 10,000 feet. They have a cylindrical body with a central mouth surrounded by tentacles that are used for capturing prey.

These tentacles contain stinging cells called nematocysts, which are used to paralyze and capture small fish and other organisms. Sea anemones are also known for their symbiotic relationships with certain fish species, such as clownfish, which live among the tentacles and are protected from predators.

There are over 1,000 species of sea anemones, each with unique characteristics. Some species have a solitary lifestyle, while others form colonies. Some species are adapted to living in intertidal zones, while others can survive in deep-sea environments.
