Title: Mites and Spiders: Hand-Colored Engraving from Bertuch's "Bilderbuch für Kinder" (1790s)
Description: This hand-colored copperplate engraving illustrates various mites and spiders with intricate detail. Depictions include the crane-footed proboscis mite (Fig. 1), juggler water spider (Fig. 2), claw-footed mite (Fig. 3), pigeon saw mite (Fig. 4), red-yellow crane foot (Fig. 5), parasite claw carrier (Fig. 6), two-segmented flea mite (Fig. 7), sturgeon claw mouth (Fig. 8), and dolphin skipper (Fig. 9).
Part of Friedrich Johann Bertuch's celebrated "Bilderbuch für Kinder," this engraving combines scientific precision with artistic beauty, showcasing the diversity of arachnids and their unique forms.
