The Lepidopterist’s Library:
Beautiful Old Butterfly Books

Lepidoptery is the branch of zoology pertaining to butterflies and
moths. While many insects inspire feelings of squeamishness in some of
us, these graceful, winged creatures are largely beloved, and have
been the subject of countless photographs, paintings, poems and even
book covers.

This month in the Beautiful Book Boutique we're looking at 25
butterfly-themed book covers from years gone by. Some are bright and
colorful, others more muted and subtle, but all are beautiful, and
many are affordable.
