EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving showcases the exquisite beauty of three different species of footman moths. The Red-necked footman, Atolmis rubricollis, takes center stage with its vibrant red collar and delicate wings adorned with intricate patterns. Surrounding it are the Four-spotted footman, Lithosia quadra, depicted in various stages of development from pupa to adult moth. Their striking black and white markings create a mesmerizing contrast against the background. Adding to this enchanting composition is the Buff footman, Katha depressa, portrayed in two different poses - one showcasing its elegant wingspan and another capturing its unique resting position with folded wings. Each detail has been meticulously captured by Johann Carl Bock after Eugenius Johann Christoph Esper's original illustrations from "Die Schmetterlinge in Abbildungen nach der Natur" published in 1786. The artistry displayed in this print highlights not only the skill of the engraver but also serves as a testament to the wonders found within nature itself. These moths symbolize transformation and metamorphosis as they transition through their life cycles from larva to caterpillar and finally emerge as stunning winged creatures. This 18th-century masterpiece invites viewers into a world where colors blend harmoniously and intricate designs adorn every inch of these delicate insects' bodies. It serves as a reminder that even within small creatures like these moths lies an extraordinary beauty waiting to be discovered.
