The Butterflies of the British Isles Richard South, F.E.S. Frederick Warne & Co. Ltd., Seventh Impression, 1924.

A charming early twentieth-century pocket guide to the butterflies of Britain, beautifully illustrated throughout with vibrant colour plates depicting every native species and many of their natural variations. Written by noted entomologist Richard South, this compact volume combines scientific accuracy with wonderfully detailed illustrations that remain as captivating today as when first published.

Bound in its original blue gilt-decorated publisher’s cloth, this example survives in remarkably well-preserved condition. The binding remains bright and attractive, the pages are clean, and the book is complete with all colour plates present.

An excellent addition to any natural history library, cabinet of curiosities, or collection of vintage illustrated books.

Condition: Very good vintage condition. Complete with all illustrated plates. Light age-related wear consistent with careful use.
