The intricate artwork, created by the European School, is part of a private collection and offers a glimpse into the fascinating lives of these arachnids. The image, originally published as a Liebig card, forms part of an educational series on beneficial insects. It highlights the important role that silk spiders play in agriculture and farming practices. In this enchanting scene, we witness African workers diligently spinning threads to create their delicate webs. The vibrant colors and attention to detail bring these creatures to life, capturing their industrious nature and showcasing their incredible ability to produce silk. The web depicted in the print serves not only as a means for survival but also as a testament to the symbiotic relationship between humans and animals. This historical piece invites us to appreciate both the beauty and functionality of spider silk while shedding light on its significance within various industries.
