A coordinated 9-piece antique butterfly print gallery wall set featuring Victorian butterfly plates of W. S. Coleman from British Butterflies: Figures and Descriptions of Every Native Species. The work was published by George Routledge and Sons, with color illustrations by Edmund Evans. Period examples are documented across the later 19th century, so this set is best described as late 19th century / c.1880s unless a specific title page date is available.
Each print is presented in a dark walnut-tone 5 x 7 inch frame with deep green matting, creating a compact, finished gallery-wall presentation. The plates feature varied butterfly and moth studies in soft natural tones, including cream, brown, charcoal, muted yellow, blue-gray, ochre, orange, and black.
The green mats give the grouping a rich library, conservatory, or English country-house feel, while the walnut-tone frames add warmth and structure. Sold together as a complete set of nine framed pieces, this grouping is ideal for a study, hallway, powder room, bedroom, gallery wall, cottage interior, library, or traditional natural history-inspired space.
The plates retain visible antique character, including toning, foxing, handling wear, and areas of water/tide staining, but the coordinated matting and framing give the set a polished decorative presentation.

Plates show varying degrees of age toning, scattered foxing, small spots, handling wear, irregular or trimmed edges, and visible water/tide staining, especially along some lower margins. Some plates have minor edge roughness or small nicks consistent with age and prior handling. The imagery remains attractive and the set presents beautifully once matted and framed. Frames show minor surface wear from handling and display. Please review all photos for full condition, mat color, frame details, and individual plate variation. less
