{"product_id":"moths-lepidoptera-heterocera-plate-6-by-frederick-ducane-godman-1879","title":"Moths (Lepidoptera: Heterocera, Plate 6) by Frederick DuCane Godman, 1879","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrederick DuCane Godman’s Insecta Lepidoptera-Heterocera Pl 006 (1879-1915) is a classic Victorian zoological illustration devoted to moths—the “heteroceran” branch of the Lepidoptera—rendered with the measured clarity that defined 19th‑century natural history. Issued at the dawn of a great age of biological cataloguing, this plate aligns multiple specimens for precise comparison, turning observation into an elegant visual taxonomy. First begun in 1879 and continued into the early 20th century, the series it belongs to reflects the era’s surge in scientific classification and the commitment to documenting biodiversity with exacting detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fine art reproduction from The Unique Maps Co. is available as a museum-quality giclée on acid‑free archival paper or as a richly textured print on artist’s cotton canvas. Choose from a range of sizes, from intimate study formats to statement pieces ready for a feature wall. Optional framing and matting are available, and we’re happy to personalize the piece with a title caption, plate number styling, or a discreet dedication. Custom sizing and margin layouts can be arranged to suit your space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGodman (1834–1919) was an English naturalist and collector whose life’s work helped organize and share the world’s fauna with a global audience. Best known for his leadership role in large-scale survey projects and for championing careful illustration alongside taxonomy, he collaborated with leading contemporaries to produce rigorous reference works. His plates were designed to be both authoritative and accessible—bridging scholarly research and public curiosity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis particular subject—moths of the Heterocera—captures a moment when entomology was rapidly evolving. Arranged in measured rows and presented from a dorsal, wings‑spread viewpoint, the specimens reveal subtle differences in form and pattern that made identification possible long before modern photography. Clear numbering and orderly spacing reinforce the plate’s purpose as a working scientific document—an indispensable tool for museum curators, amateur naturalists, and field collectors throughout the late 1800s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVisually, the illustration balances disciplined draftsmanship with vivid color. Against a clean white field, delicate linework and careful shading describe each body segment and wing vein. Notes of yellow and red punctuate the composition—lemon bands, russet patches, and small carmine accents—while softer browns and occasional blues create contrast without overpowering the whole. The symmetrical alignment and repeated motifs form an almost architectural rhythm, making this as compelling for design‑minded interiors as it is meaningful for natural history enthusiasts. It’s a timeless piece for a study, library, or gallery wall, where its clarity and color can be appreciated up close.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA considered gift for anyone who loves entomology, Victorian science, or classic natural history illustration—perfect for birthdays, Christmas, Father’s or Mother’s Day, housewarmings, graduations, or as a refined nod to a friend who never misses a visit to the natural history museum.\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=\"\/fr\/pages\/contact-us\"\u003econtact me\u003c\/a\u003e.
