Title : "Web Designs of the European Garden Spider (Araneus diadematus)"
Description :
This fascinating hand-colored copperplate engraving from Friedrich Johann Bertuch’s *Bilderbuch für Kinder* (Picture Book for Children), Weimar, 1805, offers a detailed examination of the European garden spider (Araneus diadematus) and its intricate web structures.
1. Figures 1 & 2: Showcase the distinctive radial and spiral patterns of the spider's orb-webs, highlighting their precision and function in capturing prey.
2. Figure 3: Depicts a spider in the process of constructing its web, demonstrating its remarkable silk-spinning capabilities and coordination.
3. Figure 4: Enlarged view of a complete web, revealing the engineering mastery behind the geometric design.
4. Figure 5: Illustrates the egg sac and a swarm of spiderlings emerging, providing insight into the species’ life cycle and reproductive strategies.
Bertuch’s engraving exemplifies the intersection of art and science, presenting a visually stunning and educational portrayal of spider behavior and natural history. The delicate hand coloring enhances the structural details, making this piece both scientifically informative and aesthetically captivating.
Condition Report
Good condition with minimal foxing and light age toning. Edges of the plate are intact, and the colors remain vibrant.
### Framing Tip
A double mat with a subtle contrast will emphasize the engraving’s fine lines and detailed webs. A simple black or dark wood frame will create a striking visual impact. UV-resistant glass is recommended to preserve the engraving’s delicate tones. Ideal for display in a natural history collection or as a conversation piece in a study.
