One of the pre-eminent
entomologists of the Victorian period, John Obadiah Westwood
(1805-1893) was collaborator, editor, and consultant on many
entomological books. He was an author and researcher, publishing
over four hundred scientific papers and twenty books,
plusmaking numerous contributions to works by other authors. In
1833, one of the founding members of the Entomological
Society and became honorary life president in 1883, and a fellow
of the Linnaean Society. Inspired to embark on this ambitious
planned survey of British insects following a trip to Italy.
"The plates, exquisitely drawn by Mr. Humphreys, represent the
insect in its three great stages "as the caterpillar, the
chrysalis, and the butterfly or moth "all hanging side by
side on the plants which furnish their ordinary food. The
transformation thus seems to take place under the eye; and the
metamorphoses are associated in the mind, without any effort."
In response to Humphreys' claim that "Entomology is a branch of
knowledge more easily acquired than many imagine. The individual
beauty of the insects in every stage, the ease with which they
are preserved, and the comparative facility with which a
complete collection of British species may be formed,
particularly of butterflies, of which we number scarcely more
than eighty distinct species, render it a task of easy
attainment" the same reviewer wryly noted "Mr. Humphreys throws
out a suggestion, which has, perhaps, a touch of the butterfly
Utopia in it, but which is ingenious, and deserves trial." .
