About the Item
18th-Century Hand-Colored Engraving of Moths and Larvae with Nettles
Description:
This finely detailed hand-colored engraving, titled 'Nacht-Vlinders van 't Tweede Gezin der Eerste Bende Tab. II', originates from an 18th-century entomological work. It depicts the lifecycle of moth species, focusing on the interaction between insects and plants, particularly nettles.
The plate illustrates:
1. Fig. 1-2: Nettle leaves (Urtica dioica), partially consumed by larvae.
2. Fig. 3-6: Various stages of larvae, pupae, and chrysalises belonging to the moth species.
3. Fig. 7-8: Adult moths with intricate wing patterns, meticulously colored to reflect their natural appearance.
This work exemplifies Enlightenment-era scientific inquiry, combining botanical and entomological studies. The precise illustration and vibrant hand coloring highlight the artistic and educational value of the print.
Published in the late 18th century, this engraving is a rare and beautiful example of natural history art, ideal for collectors of antique prints and those passionate about entomology. The detailed lifecycle depiction demonstrates the symbiotic relationship between plants and insects, making it a timeless representation of nature's complexity.
