EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of two magnificent stag beetles, Darwins beetle (Chiasognathus grantii) and the European stag beetle (Lucanus cervus). The handcoloured steel engraving by William Lizars, taken from James Duncan's Natural History of Beetles, transports us back to the 19th century when scientific illustrations were highly valued for their accuracy and artistry. The first beetle depicted is Darwins beetle, also known as Grants stag beetle or the Chilean stag beetle. Its vibrant colors and intricate patterns are brought to life through Lizars' skilled handcolouring technique. This species, native to Chile, captivates with its unique shape and impressive mandibles. Adjacent to it stands the European stag beetle, a majestic creature that has long fascinated naturalists. With its imposing size and striking antler-like jaws, this iconic insect commands attention. The detailed engraving beautifully captures its features in stunning clarity. Through this artwork, we are reminded of the wonders found in nature's smallest creatures. These beetles symbolize resilience and adaptability while showcasing Mother Nature's incredible diversity. As we admire these remarkable insects frozen in time on paper, let us appreciate their role within our ecosystem and marvel at their extraordinary beauty.
