EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored lithograph, taken from Carl Hoffmann's esteemed "Book of the World" published in Stuttgart in 1857, showcases an enchanting collection of long-horned beetles (Coleoptera) that once graced the forests of the world. The intricately detailed image features six distinct species: 1. Herophila tristis, the Dorcatypus long-horned beetle, with its distinctive yellow and black stripes; 2. Cerambyx heros, the Great Capricorn Beetle, known for its large size and impressive antlers; 3. Rosalia longicorn, the Longicorn Beetle, with its elegant, slender body and long antennae; 4. Rosalia alpina, the Endangered Rosalia Alpina Longicorn Beetle, a rare and beautiful species with red and black markings; 5. Aromia moschata, the Musk Beetle, famous for its fragrant scent; and 6. Purpuricenus koehleri, the Long-horned Beetle with a vibrant, purple sheen. These beetles, each represented in stunning detail, are a testament to the natural beauty and diversity of the insect world. Hoffmann's meticulous work captures the essence of each species, allowing us to appreciate their unique characteristics and intricate patterns. This image serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving the natural world and the myriad of creatures that inhabit it.
