Zart und filigran kommen sie im Sommer daher und flattern von Blüte zu Blüte. Die 12 Abbildungen exotischer Schmetterlinge in diesem DuMont Wandkalender sind wahre Kunstwerke und eine Augenweide für jeden. Es handelt sich um über 200 Jahre alte Kupferstiche aus dem wertvollen Bestand der Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin. Sie sind reich an Details und die Farben eine wahre Pracht. Ergänzt wird der Kalender durch einen ausführlichen wissenschaftlichen Begleittext auf einem extra Blatt. Die prächtigen Schmetterlinge verdanken wir dem britischen Privatgelehrten Edward Donovan (1768-1837), dessen besonderes Interesse der Entomologie galt, der Wissenschaft, die sich mit der Biologie und Systematik der Insekten beschäftigt. Er schuf einige bedeutende naturhistorische Werke. Dazu zählen auch die im Jahre 1800 publizierten Insects of India mit 50 handkolorierten Kupfertafeln, denen die Bilder in diesem Kalender entnommen sind. Das Werk zählt zu den wertvollsten Beständen, die in der Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin aufbewahrt werden. Sie ist die größte wissenschaftliche Universalbibliothek Deutschlands und arbeitete für diesen Kalender exklusiv mit DuMont zusammen.
