EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Eggs Duly Hatch into Worms, they are Covered by Mulberry Leaves" transports us back in time to witness the intricate process of silk production. Engraved by Philip Galle and based on the original work of Jan van der Straet (Giovanni Stradano), this image showcases a pivotal moment in the silk industry. In this scene, we see women carefully placing newly hatched silkworms onto branches covered with mulberry leaves. These tiny creatures will soon begin their transformative journey, spinning cocoons that hold the promise of luxurious silk threads. The attention to detail is remarkable as every aspect of this delicate craft is captured - from keys and pattens used for opening cocoons to brushwood scattered around the workshop. The atmosphere depicted here is one of focused dedication and meticulousness. Each woman plays an essential role in nurturing these worms until they reach maturity, ensuring a bountiful harvest of precious silk. Their expertise and skill are evident as they delicately handle each worm with utmost care. This print not only celebrates the artistry involved in silk production but also serves as a reminder of how human ingenuity has shaped our history. It offers us a glimpse into an era where craftsmanship thrived, highlighting both the beauty and complexity behind creating such exquisite fabrics.
