EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving, created by Johann Carl Bock after Eugenius Johann Christoph Espers' Die Schmetterlinge in Abbildungen nach der Natur (Butterflies in Representations according to Nature), showcases the intricate details of the Burnished Brass moth (Diachrysia chrysitis) and the Green Silver-spangled Shark moth (Cucullia argentea). The Burnished Brass moth, also known as the Drinker moth, is depicted with its wings spread wide, revealing the metallic sheen of its upper surfaces. The male moth is shown with distinctive antennae, while the female's antennae are shorter and lack the clubbed tips. The Green Silver-spangled Shark moth, also known as the Euthrix potatoria, is illustrated with its wings folded, revealing the intricate silver-spangled patterns on its undersides. The moth's name derives from its resemblance to a shark, with its distinctive head and thorax markings. The engraving also highlights the various stages of the moths' life cycle, from the pupa to the larva or caterpillar. The Burnished Brass moth's caterpillar is shown with its distinctive orange and black stripes, while the Green Silver-spangled Shark moth's caterpillar is depicted with a green body and distinctive white and black stripes. This beautiful work of art is a testament to the intricate beauty of the natural world and the meticulous attention to detail of the entomological illustrators of the 18th century. The use of hand-coloring adds an additional layer of depth and vibrancy to the already stunning engraving, making it a must-have for any collection of natural history or entomology.
