RARE. A first state, kanji edition (#36/150), which will always display muted colors when compared to later impressions.
This is one of only three prints that do not contain any human figures. Although Jacoulet made hundreds of studies of flowers, birds, insects, and butterflies, he preferred to use them as notes to create appropriately dramatic settings for his psychological portraits. Nevertheless, this work was popular, especially with the numerous butterfly fanciers who were Jacoulet's most enthusiastic correspondents.
