EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving, created by the skilled artist Johann Carl Bock for Eugenius Johann Christoph Espers' seminal work "Die Schmetterlinge in Abbildungen nach der Natur" (The Butterflies in Representations according to Nature), published in Erlangen in 1786, showcases two stunning moths: the White Satin Moth (Leucoma salicis) and the White Prominent (Leucodonta bicoloria). The White Satin Moth, also known as the White-marked Tussock Moth or the White Satin, is a large and elegant moth with a wingspan of up to 10 centimeters. Its wings are covered in a smooth, satin-like sheen, which is particularly evident in this meticulously rendered engraving. The White Prominent, on the other hand, is a smaller moth with a wingspan of around 5 centimeters. Its wings are adorned with intricate patterns of white and brown, and it is often mistaken for a butterfly due to its striking appearance. Both moths are depicted here in their adult form, but it is important to remember that they undergo a remarkable metamorphosis from caterpillar to pupa to adult. The larvae of these moths are often found on various trees, including willows and poplars, and they are characterized by their distinctive, hairy bodies and distinctive markings. The pupa stage, or chrysalis, is a crucial period of transformation during which the moth undergoes significant changes inside its protective casing. This beautiful and intricately detailed engraving is a testament to the fascination with the natural world that characterized the Enlightenment era. It is a reminder of the beauty and diversity of the Lepidoptera order, which includes both moths and butterflies, and the importance of documenting and preserving the natural world for future generations. The delicate interplay of light and shadow, the intricate patterns on the moths' wings, and the overall sense of wonder and discovery make this a truly captivating work of art and science.
