A collection of four vintage framed butterfly taxidermy displays featuring various species and mounting styles. The group includes a Monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) mounted over a printed bathymetric or nautical chart background, housed in an ornate rectangular gilt-finished frame. A second display consists of a Great Orange Tip butterfly (Hebomoia glaucippe), subspecies formosana, mounted alongside a dried fern frond under domed glass in a circular black-edged frame with a hanging chain. This circular display bears printed labels for Rhodes and the species name. A third specimen, a Painted Lady (Vanessa cardui), is set against a printed winter forest landscape background and presented in a double-matted gilt-finished frame. The final display features a butterfly specimen, likely a Clipper (Parthenos sylvia), mounted on a textured hessian backing with metallic gold highlights, set within a plain rectangular wooden frame.
