He would do the incredibly attractive illustrations in Jane Loudon's Ladies' Flower Garden Series 1839-1848. The present title was first published in 1841 but several editions followed. Humphreys would also publish a similar work on Moths in 1845 and a second work on moths and butterflies in 1859. The 42 plates in this volume illustrate most of the known British butterflies at that time. ODB.</p> William Smith, books‎
