Abstract:
"A young man leaning against a bank under a tree holds out in his right hand a square frame in which are displayed dead butterflies and moths. In his left hand is a butterfly net. His hat is a large butterfly; writhing caterpillars represent his curled hair. A butterfly rests on his left coat cuff. His coat is adorned with symmetrical snails to represent trimming."--British Museum online catalogue and "This is evidently Moses Harris, entomologist and engraver, secretary to the Aurelian Society, who published 'The Aurelian, or Natural History of English Insects, Snails, Moths, and Butterflies, together with the Plants on which they feed', 1766 ... The frontispiece, which is burlesqued in this print, is a self-portrait of the author with a large butterfly-net leaning against a bank with a box of butterflies in his hand."--Curator's comments, British Museum online catalogue
