EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the intricate details of the Gold-spotted Acarus Mite, Acarus auratus. The mite, a member of the arachnid family, is depicted in its characteristic golden-spotted form, with its eight legs extended and its body curled up in a defensive posture. The engraving is taken from George Shaw and Frederick Nodder's The Naturalist's Miscellany, published in 1792. Shaw and Nodder were renowned naturalists and illustrators of their time, and their work was instrumental in advancing the scientific understanding of various species. This particular illustration showcases their meticulous attention to detail and their ability to capture the essence of their subjects. The Gold-spotted Acarus Mite was a subject of great interest to naturalists during the late 18th and early 19th centuries due to its unique appearance and its role as a parasite on various insects. Today, this historical illustration serves as a reminder of the rich natural history heritage and the importance of accurate documentation and recording of species for scientific research and conservation efforts.
