In One Hundred Butterflies, photographer Harold Feinstein showcases butterfly varieties from around the world, turning exquisite details into mesmerizing works of art. Feinstein’s breathtaking photographs capture the color, vibrancy, and infinite variety of patterns that occur on the wings of these ornate insects. One hundred impeccably reproduced, oversized photographs allow viewers to appreciate the Blue Morpho of Central America, the African Birdwing, and the Asian Swallowtail at a scale and depth impossible to experience in nature. An elegantly printed deluxe gift book, it is a treasure for butterfly enthusiasts and art lovers alike.

This vibrant, and equally spectacular photography in an oversized format of Feinstein’s will give tribute to the beauty of butterfly’s like never before! I also enjoyed reading about a few of the butterfly facts, along with the handful of quotes such as..

Happiness is a butterfly, which when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you. ~ Nathaniel Hawthorne

About the Authors…

Harold Feinstein’s distinguished career in photography began in 1950, when Edward Steichen purchased his work for the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art and exhibited it frequently during his tenure there.

Feinstein’s photographs have been exhibited by and are represented in the collections of other major museums, including the International Center of Photography, the George Eastman House, the Museum of the City of New York, and the Musie d’Art Moderne in Paris. His work has appeared in such periodicals as Life, Audubon, Connoisseur, and Popular Photography.
