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.
