Butterflies Worth Knowing Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from Butterflies Worth Knowing The illustrations in the book require a word of credit. The eleven color plates of adult butter ies with wings spread have been made direct from a set of the remarkable transfers which Mr. Sherman F. Denton has been pre paring for the last quarter-century, this particular set having been prepared especially for this book. Transfers of this sort were used as insets in Mr. Denton's work on the Moths and Butter ies of the United States, pub lished in a limited edition by J. B. Millet Company, Boston. The other plates not reproduced from photo graphs are from drawings by Miss Mary E. Walker or Mr. W. I. Beecroft. In case the photographs are not of my own taking, credit is given beneath each. Two of my photographs have already appeared in Seeing Nature First and are here used by permission of its publishers.
