EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Curtis's British Entomology Plate 35, featuring the intricately detailed illustration of the Coleoptera beetle species, Cryptocephalus bipustulatus, now correctly identified as Cryptocephalus biguttatus. The identity correction was made by renowned entomologist John Owen in 2006. The beetle is depicted gracefully perched atop the fine-leaved heath plant, Erica cinerea. The plate, published between 1824 and 1839, is a testament to the meticulous work of the entomological illustrators of the time. The Yellow-tipped Cryptocephalus, as it is commonly known, is a member of the Lepidoptera order, which includes butterflies and moths, but this plate focuses on the fascinating world of beetles. The delicate interplay of the beetle's vibrant yellow markings against the muted green tones of the heath plant creates a stunning visual contrast. This historical print not only highlights the beauty and diversity of the natural world but also serves as an important record of the natural history of Britain during the 1800s.
