1885 Coleoptera Plate, Beetles

I found about 10 of these extraordinary plates of Odontolabini (a kind of beetle) published by “Transactions of the Zoological Society” in London, 1885.  The lithograph are signed Edwin Wilson and some of them are hand painted. 

This particular plate is number 89 and it features Odontolabis alces.
