EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving captures the beauty of the Tui frieze tie (or meliphage tui) and butterfly in exquisite detail. The Tui, Prosthemadera novaeseelandiae, also known as the New Zealand creeper or Merops novae seelandiae, is a striking bird with iridescent plumage and a melodious song that fills the forests of New Zealand. Paired with the Amauris psyttalea butterfly, also known as Papilio enceladus, this artwork showcases the intricate patterns and vibrant colors found in nature.
The specimens depicted in this print are from the collection of Marmaduke Tunstall, a renowned naturalist and collector of zoological curiosities. Created by Peter Brown for his New Illustrations of Zoology, this engraving exemplifies the scientific precision and artistic skill characteristic of 18th-century natural history illustrations.
As you gaze upon this image, you can almost hear the fluttering wings of the butterfly and imagine the sweet trill of the Tui's call. It serves as a reminder of our connection to nature and inspires awe at its diversity and beauty. This piece is not just a work of art; it is a window into an era when exploration and discovery fueled our understanding of the world around us.
