Botanical illustration of a male emperor butterfly and wild strawberries, inspired by a drawing by Jacques Le Moyne (d. 1588). The reverse indicates the origin of the drawing (Victoria and Albert Museum, A.M. 3267 bb-1856) and specifies that it was printed in England by Waterlow & Sons Limited, London. The butterfly features distinct eye patterns and the strawberries are detailed with their characteristic leaves.
