This print is from the older, rarer and larger version of Humphrey's work. There were later editions of his prints but they were smaller and hence less desirable.

These prints are particularly decorative as they show the butterflies on the wild flowers and plants they inhabit. The images of the butterflies swirling around flowers and plants evokes calm and peaceful summer days.
