EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving captures the beauty of four different species of butterflies and moths - the Common lime butterfly, day flying swallowtail moth, Ricini longwing, and Stalachtis calliope. Each delicate insect is meticulously detailed, showcasing their vibrant colors and intricate patterns.
The Common lime butterfly is depicted with its sailboat-shaped wings in shades of green and yellow, while the Chinese green day flying swallowtail moth displays a striking emerald hue. The Ricini longwing features bold black markings on its orange wings, creating a dramatic contrast against its bright background. Lastly, the Stalachtis calliope showcases elegant blue and white patterns that are truly mesmerizing.
Created by German publisher Friedrich Johann Bertuch in 1807 as part of his "Bilderbuch fur Kinder" (Picture Book for Children), this engraving is not only a work of art but also serves as an educational tool for learning about natural history. Bertuch's encyclopedia for children was filled with 1,200 engraved plates covering various subjects such as science, mythology, and costume.
This print is a testament to Bertuch's dedication to providing visually captivating illustrations that both entertain and educate young minds. It serves as a reminder of the beauty found in nature and the importance of preserving these delicate creatures for future generations to admire.
