The Collection of James Pettiver
James pettiver was an apothecary in london. He collected the oldest specimens of monarchs known to white europeans. But his work came at a price that's really not acknowledged most of the time. His relationships with explorers and sailors who he asked to pick up unique items as they travelled around the world were often slave surgeons or captains, so no one could claim ignorance.
Monarch butterflies are still in the middle of their story – and it’s one that is precarious. Humans are still trying to figure out a lot about them, and aspects of the monarch story have been misrepresented over the years.
