EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching, titled "A grasshopper and a cricket" transports us back to the 19th century with its intricate details and historical significance. The unknown artist skillfully captures two views of these fascinating insects, one standing and the other from above. The etching is said to have been created during the invasion of locusts in Algeria in 1866, adding a layer of depth to its narrative. It serves as both an artistic representation and a scientific record of this significant event in history.
