EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a rare collection of insects, beautifully depicted in vibrant colors through the art of engraving. Created by the German School in the 19th century, this masterpiece is now part of a private collection. The image originates from "A Bilderbuch für Kinder" (Picture Book for Children) published between 1790 and 1830 by Friedrich Justin Bertuch. One particular insect featured in this print is the magnificent Water Scorpion or Wasserwanze from Surinam. Known as Nepa grandis, it is an extraordinary creature found in aquatic environments. Its elongated body and unique appendages make it a fascinating subject to behold. The level of detail captured in this engraving truly brings these insects to life, showcasing their intricate patterns and delicate features. Each stroke on paper reflects the skillful handiwork of the artist who meticulously portrayed these creatures with precision and accuracy. Now preserved by ePurix Verlag Volker Christen, this German masterpiece has transcended time and remains an invaluable piece of natural history documentation. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are reminded of nature's diversity and its ability to inspire awe within us all.
