I have to admit, Maria Sibilla Merian’s botanicals, insects, butterfly and lizard prints are a tie for favorites with Mark Catesby coming in as a close #1. These are from her 1713 volume on insects. They are wonderfully hand-colored and framed in just fabulous hand carved Italian water-gilt frames. This is #2 of a pair and is a once in a lifetime collection. #tulipmania #merian #mariameriansbutterflies #mariameriansibylla #merianprints #tulips #carolinaprints (at Catfish Row) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bupv9jihYK-/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1wgjlpoi42fi2
