EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving, titled "Varieties of Butterflies including a Swallowtail," is a stunning example of natural history illustration from the 18th century. Created by the skilled hand of Georg Wolfgang Knorr, this image is taken from his renowned work, "Deliciae Naturae Selectae, oder Auserlesenes Naturalien-Cabinet der Natuur," published by Blusse and Son in Nuremberg in 1771. The illustration showcases an array of butterflies and a moth, with the swallowtail butterfly taking center stage. Swallowtails are known for their distinctive long, pointed tails on their hindwings, which resemble the tails of swallows. The intricate details of their wings, from the delicate veining to the vibrant colors, are beautifully captured in this engraving. Butterflies and moths are part of the Lepidoptera order, which means "scaly wings." This order includes over 160,000 described species, making it the third-largest group of organisms. The study and preservation of these creatures have been of great interest to naturalists and collectors for centuries, as evidenced by the production of works like Knorr's. This image not only serves as a testament to the beauty and diversity of the Lepidoptera world but also as a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of natural history during the 18th century. The meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail in this hand-colored copperplate engraving continue to inspire and fascinate viewers today.
