EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Haematopota pluvialis, a species of fly belonging to the Diptera order and Brachycera family Tabanidae. The image was captured by Giorgio Roster in 1912 for A. Celli's "Manuale dell'igienista" a comprehensive manual on hygiene intended for various professionals including health officers, medical practitioners, engineers, chemists, veterinarians, as well as hygiene offices and laboratories. The photograph provides an intriguing glimpse into the world of microbiology slides and research subjects within the realm of general biology. It falls under the umbrella of mathematical and natural sciences with its focus on insects, arthropods, invertebrates, animals, zoology, and zootechnics. The Haematopota pluvialis is beautifully depicted in intricate detail through this snapshot from over a century ago. Its delicate wings are elegantly spread out while its compound eyes peer curiously at the viewer. This particular species is known for being attracted to wet environments such as marshes or damp meadows where it can often be found buzzing around during rainy seasons. Roster's expertise in capturing scientific subjects shines through this photograph as he manages to capture both the aesthetic appeal of this insect specimen along with its scientific significance. The timeless quality of this image allows us to appreciate not only the beauty but also serves as a reminder of how far we have come in our understanding of these tiny creatures that play vital roles within our ecosystems. As we observe this historical piece from Alinari's collection without any commercial context attached to it (not mentioning commercial use), we are reminded once again about humanity's enduring curiosity towards nature and our continuous quest for knowledge across generations.
