‎HUMPHREYS, Henry Noel (illus); WESTWOOD, John Obadiah‎

‎British Moths and Their Transformations.‎

‎London: William Smith 1843-45. First edition splendidly illustrating the moths of the British isles in 124 hand-coloured plates. A collaboration with the leading entomologist John Westwood who contributed the insect descriptions this is one of Humphrey's most accomplished works as a naturalist illustrator. A skilled artist trained in Brussels Humphreys became interested in natural history after a tour of Italy. Upon his return he settled in London as a neighbour of a relative the landscape architect and prolific author J. C. Loudon. Humphreys wrote for a series of garden periodicals including Loudon's Gardener's Magazine. In the 1840s he published two entomological works with Westwood: British Butterflies and their Transformations 1841 and subsequently the present work on moths; both proved extremely popular. Westwood 1805-1893 was one of the first entomologists to obtain an academic position at Oxford University and he founded with Frederick William Hope the Entomological Society of London. In 1846 the name Westwoodia was given in his honour to a genus of Hymenoptera. He was himself a skilled insect illustrator contributing drawings to several publications between the 1820s and the 1840s. 2 vols large quarto 273 x 210 mm. With 124 hand-coloured plates. Contemporary purple mottled half morocco spines with gilt-ruled raised bands gilt lettering in compartments marbled sides and endpapers edges gilt. Patch of skinning on front pastedown of vol. I from removed bookplate. Spines slightly faded light wear to board edges and corners a few spots of foxing to edges extending a little into margins otherwise internally bright and clean. A very good copy. hardcover‎

‎HUMPHREYS, Henry Noel and John Obadiah WESTWOOD‎

‎British Moths and their transformations with British Butterflies and their transformations‎

‎London: Wm. S. Orr & Co and William Smith 1849. Three volumes quarto profusely illustrated with full-page plates exquisitely hand-coloured; uniformly bound in half morocco richly gilt all edges gilt with the gilt arms of the Barons Sherborne. <p><p>A very fine copy in a grand binding with excellent provenance of this remarkable collaboration an exquisite work of Victorian natural history. As one of the pre-eminent entomologists of the Victorian period John Obadiah Westwood 1805-1893 served as collaborator editor and consultant on many entomological publications. He was a prodigious author and researcher publishing some four hundred scientific papers and some twenty books as well as making numerous contributions to works by other authors. In 1833 he was one of the founding members of the Entomological Society and he became honorary life president in 1883 and a fellow of the Linnaean Society. It was for his study of Australian species that Anthony Musgrave author of the Bibliography of Australian Entomology 1775-1930 named the period 1831-1861 "The Westwoodian Period" in recognition of his great service during these years to Australian entomology Musgrave p. 345. </p> <p>Henry Noel Humphreys 1810-1879 was an accomplished illustrator and scholar in numerous subjects. In addition to his entomological texts Humphreys wrote works on ancient Greek and Roman coins archaeology and the art of writing and printing enriching even these simplest texts with exquisite chromolithographs printed by Owen Jones. He was inspired to embark on this ambitious planned survey of British insects following a trip to Italy. In the Preface he likened the person in the fields unacquainted with natural history to one placed in a library and unable to read. "He cannot read in the beautiful book of nature when in the summer it opens its brightest leaves". </p> <p>A contemporary review in The Lancet noted: The plates exquisitely drawn by Mr. Humphreys represent the insect in its three great stages-as the caterpillar the chrysalis and the butterfly or moth -all hanging side by side on the plants which furnish their ordinary food. The transformation thus seems to take place under the eye; and the metamorphoses are associated in the mind without any effort." In response to Humphreys' claim that "Entomology is a branch of knowledge more easily acquired than many imagine. The individual beauty of the insects in every stage the ease with which they are preserved and the comparative facility with which a complete collection of British species may be formed particularly of butterflies of which we number scarcely more than eighty distinct species render it a task of easy attainment" the same reviewer wryly noted "Mr. Humphreys throws out a suggestion which has perhaps a touch of the butterfly Utopia in it but which is ingenious and deserves trial."</p> </p> . Provenance: Each volume with the gilt arms of the Barons Sherborne with links to Australia through the Duttons of Anlaby South Australia; and the bookplate of Princess Despina Mary Karadja 1868-1943 poet writer on spiritualism founder of the White Cross Union and wife of the envoy to the Ottoman empire Jean-Constantin Karadja a distinguished diplomat and noted book collector.
