EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving, created by Georg Wolfgang Knorr for his Deliciae Naturae Selectae of Kabinet van Zeldzaamheden der Natuur, published by Blusse and Son in Nuremberg in 1771, showcases an intriguing assemblage of rare and exotic specimens from the natural world. The illustration includes four European butterflies (4-8), with the first two identified as the Menelaus blue morpho (Morpho menelaus) and Attacus atlas, commonly known as the Atlas moth. These magnificent creatures were likely sourced from the Wunderkammer or Cabinet of Curiosities of Johann Ambrosius Beurer. The third specimen is the Lanternfly (Pyrops candelaria), a fascinating insect native to Europe, known for its distinctive nocturnal behavior and bioluminescent spots. The final specimen, represented by the largest and most prominent creature in the illustration, is the Atlas moth, a true giant among insects. With a wingspan reaching up to 30 centimeters, it is one of the largest moths in the world. The Atlas moth's wings are adorned with intricate patterns and vibrant colors, making it a true marvel of nature. The Menelaus blue morpho, on the other hand, is known for its striking blue wings, which are used to deceive predators by mimicking the appearance of toxic species. This beautiful and intricately detailed engraving not only showcases the natural beauty and diversity of the natural world but also highlights the advanced techniques of 18th-century scientific illustration. The meticulous hand-coloring and fine engraving techniques employed by Knorr reveal a deep appreciation for the natural world and a desire to preserve and document its wonders.
