EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving captures the exquisite beauty of various moth species found in gardens. The print, created by Johann Carl Bock after Eugenius Johann Christoph Esper's work "Die Schmetterlinge in Abbildungen nach der Natur" (The Butterflies Illustrated from Nature), showcases the Garden dart (Euxoa nigricans 1-3) and Hadena filograna (4), along with other captivating moths such as antirrhinum brocade (Calophasia platyptera 5) and Simyra nervosa (6). The intricate details of each moth are brought to life through delicate handcolouring, enhancing their natural patterns and hues. This artwork provides a glimpse into the world of entomology, showcasing the metamorphosis process from pupa to larva to fully grown caterpillar. Created in Erlangen in 1786, this engraving exemplifies the scientific exploration and artistic skill prevalent during the 18th century. It serves as a testament to both Bock's talent as an engraver and Esper's dedication to accurately depicting these winged creatures. As we admire this stunning piece, we are reminded of nature's incredible diversity and its ability to inspire awe. Each moth depicted here is a testament to the intricacies of evolution and adaptation that have allowed them to thrive within garden ecosystems. This print not only celebrates these beautiful insects but also highlights our ongoing fascination with wildlife throughout history. It is a timeless reminder of humanity's enduring connection with nature and our desire to capture its wonders through art.
