EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving, created by Johann Carl Bock after Eugenius Johann Christoph Esper's Die Schmetterlinge in Abbildungen nach der Natur (Butterflies and Moths Represented in Images According to Nature), showcases a fascinating array of rare and intricately patterned moths. Among these captivating specimens are the Merveille du jour (Dichonia aprilina), a scarce Merveille du jour (Moma alpium), and the Marbled Green (Cryphia muralis). The Merveille du jour, also known as the Ligustri-conspersa or the Spotted Wave, is a beautiful and elusive moth with a wingspan of approximately 3.5 inches. Its wings are adorned with a striking pattern of brown, black, and white spots, with a distinctive yellow band near the edge. The scarce Merveille du jour, Moma alpium, is a smaller moth, measuring only about 1.5 inches across, with a brown and gray wingspan and a prominent white "V" marking on each forewing. The Marbled Green (Cryphia muralis) is a delicate and varied moth, with a wingspan of around 2 inches. Its wings are a beautiful blend of green and brown, with intricate patterns of white and black veins. This moth is also known for its unique life cycle, with a caterpillar that resembles a small, green, segmented worm, and a pupa that is encased in a silken cocoon. This stunning engraving not only captures the beauty and intricacy of these rare moths but also provides a glimpse into the world of entomology during the late 18th century. The meticulous attention to detail and the use of hand-coloring techniques highlight the fascination and appreciation for the natural world that was prevalent during this time. The work of Carl Bock and Eugenius Johann Christoph Esper continues to inspire and captivate audiences today, offering a window into the rich and diverse world of Lepidoptera.
