EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving, titled "Conformist, double dart, scarce brindle and silver arches," showcases an intriguing assembly of six different Lepidoptera species. The central figure is the Conformist, or Lithophane furcifera 1, with its distinctive double-dart pattern on its wings. To the left, we find the Double Dart, or Graphiphora augur 2, with its brindled wings adorned with silver arches. Next to the Double Dart is the Scarce Brindle, or Apamea lateritia 3 and 4, characterized by their reddish-brown wings with darker bands and a distinctive white spot near the tip. The fifth species, the Silver Arches, or Polia hepatica 5, boasts shimmering silver wings with distinctive black arches. These magnificent creatures are depicted in various stages of their life cycle, from pupa to caterpillar, highlighting the fascinating process of metamorphosis. The engraving is part of a larger collection by renowned entomologists Eugenius Johann Christoph Esper and Johann Christian Friedrich Höhne, titled "Die Schmetterlinge, Abbildungen, nach der Natur." The intricate details of the engraving reveal the delicate structures of the insects' wings, antennae, and legs, providing a glimpse into the natural world of these captivating creatures. The background features oak leaves, grass, and trifolii, adding a touch of realism to the composition. This beautiful and educational piece of art serves as a testament to the natural beauty and diversity of the Lepidoptera world, showcasing the meticulous attention to detail and dedication to scientific accuracy that characterized the work of Esper and Höhne.
