There are no labels, only numbers, and the catalog is lost.
I sort of registered, and when I try to enter the rasch form, I throw it out with the words: You can't participate in this forum (either you don't have any rights - for example, the forum is only for registered participants, or your rights to participate are blocked)...

If I understand correctly, the posted photo is the same collection of the 19th century? If so, then most likely you were cruelly deceived - in the 19th century, butterflies were NEVER displayed like this, I looked at different collections and all of them were characterized by mathematical accuracy in the construction of species, genera and families. Plus, it's hard to imagine such a good preservation of butterflies, if you are 20 years old to them!!! (I don't say anything about the 19th century at all) they didn't touch or etch

it . Bottom line - what you posted is the usual commercial collections that you can buy at any pet store.

That's for sure!I exhibited here a long time ago a collection of beetles of the early 20th century(maybe someone remembers), its condition,alas, was terrible, BUT!, all the beetles were labeled and lined by birth.

well, well, just a few days, 1.5 thousand attempts and I got here....

We were not deceived by the time of collecting, there was no one and no reason for it, we did not buy butterflies, inheritance. Collected not the last in Nizhny Novgorod and not a poor man, one of the managers of the steamship company "Samolet", traveler, collector, grew orchids. They told me that there were still beetles and, like, more butterflies. During the war, they gave it to a museum and catalogues in the same place. Basically, if it's in Lower, you can try to find it though ... hardly any more.
In addition to the grandmother's stories about the owner of butterflies, etc. (and she did not know him personally), correspondence and other things dated from the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries were preserved.

As a matter of fact the question of selling disappeared without being formed :- ) Since no one here rushed to offer $ $ $ $ $ or $$$ or at least $$ and in general in any way, and no specific figure was even announced for any butterfly, it means that the possible revenue, to put it mildly, is far from solving our needs. Which, in general, is also not bad, my son will be like me, luring girls to play tricks :D
So, I was wondering if the oohs and aahs of our friends have any monetary value. Philistines in general.
Only here they would not have crumbled to his little girls, another 10-15 years ...

PS speaking of the price in those years: yesterday my mother remembered, she found the collector's heiress in her youth. She told me that they lived poorly - they had to take the piano to the dacha, there was
