EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured lithograph captures the beauty of two iconic moth species, the Silk moth (Bombyx mori) and the large or garden tiger moth (Arctia caja), delicately perched on mulberry leaves. The intricate details of their wings and fuzzy bodies are brought to life by the skilled illustration of Moses Harris, featured in "The Aurelian; a Natural History of English Moths and Butterflies" edited by J.O. Westwood.
The Silk moth, known for its production of luxurious silk fibers, is depicted alongside the striking patterns of the garden tiger moth, showcasing the diversity within the world of moths. These creatures undergo a remarkable metamorphosis from caterpillar to pupa before emerging as stunning winged insects.
Set against a backdrop of Morus alba leaves, this print transports us back to 19th century England when natural history illustrations were highly sought after for their scientific and artistic value. The attention to detail in capturing these moths in their natural habitat highlights the importance of preserving our delicate ecosystems and appreciating the wonders of nature.
Whether you're an entomology enthusiast or simply admire fine art prints, this image is sure to spark curiosity and appreciation for these fascinating insects that play a vital role in our environment.
