David Measures, who died in 2011, was arguably the foremost UK-based painter of butterflies. A gifted wildlife artist, he became fascinated by the insects and devoted much of his life to observing, sketching and commenting on their activities. This is the first book to collate David’s paintings of all native British species of butterfly.
The book is a hardback measuring 235mm x 235mm.
