{"product_id":"moths-lepidoptera-heterocera-plate-016-by-frederick-ducane-godman-1880","title":"Moths (Lepidoptera-Heterocera, Plate 016) by Frederick DuCane Godman, 1879","description":"\u003cp\u003eInsecta Lepidoptera-Heterocera, Plate 016 (1879) by Frederick DuCane Godman is a refined Victorian zoological illustration from the golden age of natural history. Godman (1834–1919), an English naturalist and collector, belonged to a pioneering generation who paired rigorous fieldwork with exquisitely precise images to advance scientific understanding. Focused on the moths of the order Lepidoptera—historically grouped under the term Heterocera—this plate exemplifies the 19th-century ambition to observe, classify, and communicate the astonishing variety of the natural world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis listing offers a museum-quality fine art print of Plate 016, produced on your choice of acid-free archival paper or artist’s cotton canvas. Available in a range of sizes, it can be ordered unframed or expertly framed to arrive ready to hang. The Unique Maps Co. also provides thoughtful personalization options—such as a custom caption line, tasteful margin adjustments, or a period-inspired title block—so your piece suits both your space and your story.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrederick DuCane Godman was noted for his meticulous scholarship and his role in documenting the biodiversity of Central America. His work bridged the worlds of field biology, taxonomy, and art, helping to transform carefully observed specimens into enduring records of discovery. Collections he fostered and studies he championed continue to inform entomologists and design lovers alike, making his plates as intellectually engaging as they are beautiful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe subject here—moths within Lepidoptera—held special scientific importance in the 19th century, when researchers were identifying and comparing species at an unprecedented pace. This plate typifies that spirit of inquiry: it presents multiple specimens in an ordered, comparative arrangement that allows viewers to note distinctions in wing shape, patterning, and body form at a glance. It is both an educational artifact and an evocative window into the history of science.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA warm palette of lemon yellow and amber-orange is balanced by white and soft neutral tones, echoing the natural coloration observed in many moth species. Fine linework and delicate shading add lifelike depth to each specimen, while the symmetrical layout lends clarity and calm. The result is a composition that reads as both a scientific tool and a work of art—perfect for anyone who appreciates the meeting point of precision and poetry. For those who enjoy accurate nomenclature, the overarching scientific term Lepidoptera is clearly applicable to the plate’s subjects; beyond this, the design emphasizes form and pattern over labels, celebrating diversity without overwhelming detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElegant yet informative, this print makes a distinguished gift for entomologists, natural history enthusiasts, and design lovers. It’s an inspired choice for Christmas, birthdays, Father’s or Mother’s Day, graduations, housewarmings, or to delight someone who has recently explored the tropics and returned with a renewed appreciation for the hidden intricacies of the natural world.\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=\"\/de\/pages\/contact-us\"\u003econtact me\u003c\/a\u003e.
