EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving captures the delicate beauty of the Zerene of the gooseberry, also known as the Phalene speckled, perched on a gooseberry branch. The intricate details of the Magpie moth, Abraxas grossulariata, resting on a redcurrant branch add to the charm of this botanical illustration.
Created by Jacob l'Admiral for Naauwkeurige Waarneemingen omtrent de veranderingen van veele Insekten in 1774, this artwork is part of a series that provides accurate descriptions of insect metamorphoses. Meticulously drawn and etched, this print showcases the artist's skill in capturing nature's wonders with precision and artistry.
The vibrant colors used to handcolour this engraving bring out the vivid hues of both the insects and their host plants. The contrast between the green gooseberry leaves and redcurrant branches adds depth to the composition, making it visually striking.
As part of an expanded second edition with additional plates by M. Houttuyn, this print exemplifies scientific accuracy combined with artistic flair. It serves as a testament to the rich history of entomological illustrations and continues to inspire admiration for these tiny creatures that inhabit our natural world.
