About This Item
Original field-work photograph of the "Danaeia Erippus" (actually Danaus, the "Southern Monarch") taken at the Hawkesbury River in 1896 and a compelling image of butterflies, caterpillars and a chrysalis perched on a cotton plant. The scene appears to be staged and the obverse inscription reads, '(Use magnifying glass,) For Clifford...caterpillars, chrysalis, butterfly.'
Taken with a dramatically shallow depth of field, the image has an impressive range of tones typical of the albumen silver print technology which was reaching its height towards the end of the twentieth century.
