Limited Edition Print "Butterflies With Tiger Lilies" by Donna Richardson

This is a framed, limited edition botanical and entomological art print titled 'Butterflies With Tiger Lilies' by the artist Donna Richardson, dated 1979. The artwork features a vibrant composition of orange tiger lilies in various stages of bloom, accompanied by two detailed butterflies: a dark swallowtail species and a lighter yellow butterfly. The color palette is dominated by warm oranges, greens, and the contrasting dark tones of the upper butterfly. The print is specifically identified as Print No. 463 of 750 from 'Plate No. 4, Butterfly Series.' The artist's signature and the date '1979' are visible in the lower right-hand corner within the plate, and there is a copyright notice on the lower left. Physically, the piece is house in a simple dark wood frame with a double-layered mat—an inner olive green border and a larger off-white outer matting. The construction appears typical of the late 20th century. Condition-wise, the frame shows some minor surface scuffing and dust, while the paper inside the glass appears well-preserved with no immediate signs of foxing or water damage, though the matting may show slight yellowing consistent with age. The print exhibits high-quality draftsmanship, typical of 1970s wildlife illustration, focusing on scientific accuracy balanced with decorative appeal.
