EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving, titled "Die Schmetterlinge in Abbildungen nach der Natur" (The Butterflies Represented According to Nature), was produced by Johann Carl Bock in 1786, based on the original drawings by Eugenius Johann Christoph Esper. The engraving showcases three different species of moths: the Red-necked Footman (Atolmis rubricollis), the Four-spotted Footman (Lithosia quadra), and the Buff Footman (Katha depressa). The Red-necked Footman, depicted in the upper left corner, is characterized by its vibrant red collar and wings adorned with white spots. The Four-spotted Footman, located in the center, displays four distinct black spots on its wings, which contrast sharply with its orange-brown background. The Buff Footman, situated in the lower right corner, is easily identified by its buff-colored wings and distinctive tufts of hair on its head. These moths are presented in various stages of their life cycle, including their pupa, larva, and caterpillar forms. The intricate details of their anatomy are beautifully captured in this engraving, providing a fascinating glimpse into the world of metamorphosis and the intricacies of the insect kingdom. The artistry of this engraving is further enhanced by the delicate hand-coloring, which adds depth and vibrancy to the already stunning details. The overall effect is a visually stunning representation of these fascinating creatures, which continues to captivate viewers over two centuries after its creation. This engraving is an essential addition to any collection of entomological or natural history art, and a testament to the beauty and diversity of the Lepidoptera order. It serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and documenting the natural world, and the role that art plays in capturing its essence for future generations to appreciate.
