EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving, created by Georg Wolfgang Knorr after an illustration by Christian Nicolaus Kleemann, showcases a captivating array of scorpions from various regions around the world. At the center of the image, the Giant Forest Scorpion, Heterometrus indus, takes center stage. Native to forests in India and Sri Lanka, this impressive arachnid can grow up to 30 cm in length. Surrounding the Giant Forest Scorpion are other intriguing species, including the Scorpion from America, Scorpio americanus, and the Scorpion from Africa, Scorpio afer. The Scorpion from America, also known as the Brazilian Yellow Scorpion, is native to Central and South America and is characterized by its bright yellow coloration. The African Scorpion, on the other hand, is native to sub-Saharan Africa and is known for its distinctive, long tail. This stunning engraving is a testament to the natural wonders that captivated collectors during the 18th century. The image is from Georg Wolfgang Knorr's Deliciae Naturae Selectae, or Select Rarities of Nature, published by Blusse and Son in Nuremberg in 1771. The specimens depicted in this engraving were once part of the Wunderkammer, or Cabinet of Curiosities, owned by Dr. Christoph Jacob Trew in Nuremberg. These collections of natural curiosities were popular among the European elite, showcasing the exotic and the unusual from the natural world.
