Animal coloration; an account of the principal facts and theories relating to the colours and markings of animals

Beddard, Frank E. (Frank Evers), 1858-1925 · 1892 · London, S. Sonnenschein & co.; New York, Macmillan & co. · 44 pictures

A scientific survey of animal coloration and its theories, written by zoologist Frank Evers Beddard and published in London and New York in 1892 for naturalists and educated general readers. The wood-engraved figures show moths, butterflies, caterpillars and pupae drawn in dense hatching, often set against bark or foliage to demonstrate camouflage, giving designers textured insect silhouettes, wing-pattern motifs and figure-on-ground concealment studies.
