EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving, created by Johann Carl Bock in 1786 for Eugenius Johann Christoph Espers' Die Schmetterlinge in Abbildungen nach der Natur (Butterflies and Moths Represented in Images According to Nature), showcases a captivating assembly of various moths. The image includes six different species: Dingy Shell moths (Euchoeca nebulata 1, 2), Dusky Marbled Browns (Gluphisia crenata 3, 4), and Brown Rustics (Rusina ferruginea 5, 6). The Dingy Shell moths, with their dingy, almost translucent wings, are intricately depicted in this engraving. Their wings' patterns are reminiscent of delicate, feathered gothic designs, adding an ethereal touch to the artwork. The Dusky Marbled Browns are characterized by their dusky brown wings adorned with intricate, marbled patterns, making them a visual delight. Their metamorphosis from caterpillar to moth is a testament to the wonders of nature. The Brown Rustics, with their brown, sprawling wings, add a rustic charm to the image. Their unique appearance, with distinct thoracic and abdominal markings, is a testament to the diversity of the Lepidoptera order. Other moths depicted in the engraving include Phalaena obliterata, Bombyx crenata, and Bombyx ferruginea. The Phalaena obliterata, with its intricate, decimally-patterned wings, is a striking contrast to the other moths in the image. The Bombyx species, with their feather-like textures and brown coloration, add a textured element to the artwork. This beautiful copperplate engraving is a testament to the intricacy and detail of 18th-century entomological illustrations. It provides a glimpse into the natural world and the metamorphosis of these fascinating insects, offering a glimpse into the beauty and diversity of the Lepidoptera order.
