Frederick Warne issued the volume with the original blue cloth binding, gilt butterfly device, and a full plate program covering adult butterflies alongside their eggs, caterpillars, chrysalids, and food plants. South was editor of The Entomologist and curator of the Leech collection, and the book reflects working entomological authority rather than casual compilation. Offered as the 1906 first edition pending plate count confirmation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e[d]Author | Richard South, F.E.S.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e[d]Title | The Butterflies of the British Isles\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e[d]Publisher | Frederick Warne \u0026amp; Co., London and New York\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e[d]Date | 1906\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e[d]Edition | First edition, pending plate count confirmation\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e[d]Series | Wayside and Woodland Series\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e[d]Binding | Original blue publisher's cloth, gilt and black stamping, gilt butterfly to front cover, rounded corners\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e[d]Pages | x, 204 pages of text; 127 pages of plates as called for\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e[d]Illustrations | Coloured figures of every species and many varieties, with drawings of egg, caterpillar, chrysalis, and food plant\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e[d]Dimensions | 6.5 in H x 5 in W x 1 in D\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e[d]Language | English\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e[d]Origin | England\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-pre-wrap leading-[1.7]\"\u003e[condition] The blue cloth boards show rubbing to the extremities, with bumped and rubbed corners and wear at the spine ends.
