About the Item
Title: "Oleander Hawk-Moth Lifecycle" - Hand-Colored Natural History Plate (1846)
Description: This beautiful hand-colored natural history plate from 1846 features the stunning Oleander Hawk-Moth (Daphnis nerii) in various stages of its lifecycle, from caterpillar to pupa to fully matured moth. The central image showcases the moth resting on an oleander plant, which is its primary food source. Known for its striking green and pink coloration, the Oleander Hawk-Moth is a symbol of natural elegance and exotic beauty.
The intricate hand-coloring and detailed illustrations vividly present the life stages of this fascinating moth species, including a close-up of the caterpillar and the pupal form. The delicate botanical details of the oleander flower add further context to the lifecycle of this moth, underscoring the intimate connection between the insect and its environment. The meticulous artistry and careful scientific observation are characteristic of 19th-century entomological studies, reflecting a deep appreciation for both accuracy and aesthetics.
This plate is printed on high-quality laid paper, lending it an elegant texture that complements the vivid hand-coloring. It is a wonderful addition for any natural history collection, offering insight into the metamorphosis of one of nature’s most beautifully camouflaged creatures. Perfect for enthusiasts of entomology and botanical illustration alike, this piece captures the awe-inspiring transformation of the Oleander Hawk-Moth, making it an exquisite display of 19th-century scientific art.
