Herrich-Schäffer described many new species,
and he also meticulously drew the vast majority of the illustrations
for his own publications to ensure precision in the wing venation and patterns.
Herrich-Schäffer in his personal workshop in Regensburg, Germany,
operated his own specialized lithographic printing establishment.
He personally transcribed his original drawings onto the lithographic stones,
managed the hand-colouring of the plates, and printed them through his own house.
