EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of nature's creatures. In this handcoloured copperplate engraving by Johann Carl Bock, we are introduced to a mesmerizing array of insects and larvae. The focal point is the vibrant Yellow tiger moth, also known as Arctia flavia, with its striking yellow and black patterned wings. Adjacent to it is the delicate white ermine larva, belonging to the species Spilosoma lubricipeda, displaying its fuzzy white coat. The composition also includes Ptilocephala albida and Calliergis ramosa, adding further diversity to this entomological masterpiece. Each creature has been meticulously depicted with precision and attention to detail by Bock in 1786. This artwork is part of Eugenius Johann Christoph Esper's renowned publication "Die Schmetterlinge in Abbildungen nach der Natur" which translates to "Butterflies Illustrated from Nature". It serves as a testament to the scientific curiosity that flourished during the 18th century. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the fascinating process of metamorphosis that these insects undergo - from pupa to larva and eventually transforming into their adult forms. It invites us into a world where colors blend harmoniously with nature's design. This print not only celebrates these remarkable creatures but also pays homage to the artistry involved in capturing their essence through engraving techniques. It serves as a reminder of our connection with wildlife and encourages us to appreciate the wonders that exist within our natural surroundings.
