This series was created by Joseph Warren and made its debut in 2007 with five pieces in an exhibition entitled The butterfly effect at the Medcalf Gallery in London's Exmouth Market

In 2008 Joseph was commissioned by The Conran Shop to produce exclusive cabinets of 20 butterflies for their international 'Inspirations' exhibition. The butterfly series has featured in further exhibitions and a wide range of print and online media. New pieces are regularly added to the collection which can be purchased direct from this website or in branches of The Conran Shop.

Our iconic butterfly collections are produced in a variety of sizes and configurations. Cabinets are available in solid oak or sumptuous dark walnut – please see the table below for details of our standard sizes.

Cabinets can be made to order in other sizes, email sales@imagesurgery.com with your specific request and we'll let you know if it possible.

Imagesurgery holds an extensive library of vintage maps of every description. Our most recent pieces incorporate a treasure trove of curiosities, from Australian mining maps of the 1950s to richly hued hand-painted British geological charts more than a century old. The maps embrace the micro and the macro: intricate street plans of obscure world cities may sit alongside moonscapes and celestial maps, or technicolour graphs and pictogram charts from the middle twentieth century.

We welcome commissions to create bespoke butterfly series artworks for customers worldwide. Our butterflies can incorporate maps showing places of special significance to the owner or be chosen to echo the colours of any interior. By selecting maps of varied vintage and origin we are able to produce stunning and personal works of art which are much more than aesthetically beautiful objects. contact us to discuss the almost limitless possibilities...

All our butterfly cabinets are supplied with a sturdy hanging bracket of our own design so that the box fits flush against the wall for a floating appearance.

Attach the bracket securely 100mm below your desired top height using appropriate fixings for the wall type. Use a spirit level to ensure that the bracket is horizontal. If you require more detailed instructions email info@imagesurgery.com and we'll be happy to advise.

On the reverse of each cabinet you’ll find an imagesurgery maker’s plate bearing a unique identification number to guarantee the authenticity of your one-off artwork.

We make every effort to ensure these fragile glass-fronted cabinets reach you in the same condition they left the imagesurgery studio, and have honed our packaging technique to near-perfection!

Each series is restricted to a set number of copies at launch and each print is signed and numbered on the reverse. We keep a record of our entire catalogue and all purchases so that the authenticity of any print can be checked in the future.

Smaller prints are sent flat in a reinforced cardboard envelope. Our large-format prints are sent in heavy-duty cardboard tubes with padding at each end to prevent damage.

We have close association with a professional framing company that we trust to handle requirements big and small, and we are happy to get quotes for our customers. Because shipping costs are considerably higher for framed prints, it is not usually possible to deliver framed prints outside of London or Essex, but we'll do our best to help.
