Original, Irish Butterfly - Specimen - Collection of entomologist and naturalist, Norman Hickin. 70 boxes with Butterfly - Specimen from the irish countryside in Dromreagh (Durrus, West Cork, Ireland), Ballycommane, Glengarriff, and wider surroundings.

The collection was established in the outgoing 1970s and early 1980s and gives an excellent view into the specimens still common at that time in Ireland and its unspoiled, non-industrial countryside.

Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

Folio Box. Original Hardcover. Very good condition with only minor signs of wear. Provenance: The collection was treasured and professionally stored by Norman Hickin's daughter, renown Garden Designer, Verney Naylor. Norman Hickin, who died on 6th December 1990, aged 80, was a dedicated entomologist, enthusiastic naturalist, wildlife artist, educator and pest control scientist whose activities gave rise to a whole woodworm and dry rot control industry. After important wartime work for Dunlop, developing self-sealing aircraft fuel tanks, he joined the original Rentokil company in 1944 as Technical Manager and became its Scientific Director until his retirement twenty-seven years later, remaining as consultant until his death. Author of the standard academic work on the larvae of Caddis Flies (Trichoptera) Norman Hickin also wrote more practical advisory books within his Rentokil Library series, and volumes on subjects ranging from birdnesting boxes to postcards and beachombing - a total of seventeen books. His ‘Forest Refreshed’, ‘African Notebook’, ‘The Natural History of an English Forest’, and the more modest ‘Bookworms’ are all illustrated by his painstakingly detailed scraperboard and line drawings well justifying his place in the Society of Wildlife Artists. His authorship of papers and press articles, his lectures and broadcasts, persuaded the public and the professions that woodworm could be successfully treated, thereby saving a significant heritage of domestic furniture, valuable antiques, historic buildings and ordinary homes. He was also a prolific writer on all aspects of natural history, contributing regularly to newspapers from the Kidderminster Shuttle to the Irish Times. He was also frequently an expert witness in cases involving damage by pests, from termites to tapestry moths, and an active adviser to the British Wood Preserving Association.
