EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving showcases the exquisite beauty of two moth species - the Silver Y moth (Autographa gamma) and the Essex Y moth (Cornutiplusia circumflexa). The meticulous detail captured by Johann Carl Bock after Eugenius Johann Christoph Esper's work in Die Schmetterlinge in Abbildungen nach der Natur, Erlangen, 1786, transports us back to the enchanting world of 18th-century entomology. The image reveals a metamorphosis journey, with four stages of Autographa gamma depicted on the left side. From pupa to larva and finally transforming into a stunning adult moth, each stage is meticulously illustrated. On the right side, we are introduced to Cornutiplusia circumflexa in its fifth and sixth stages. The vibrant colors bring these moths to life as they rest delicately on their leafy habitats. Johann Carl Bock's masterful engraving technique captures every intricate detail of these fascinating creatures. Their wings display an array of patterns and shades that make them truly mesmerizing subjects for study or admiration. As we gaze upon this artwork from the 18th century, we are reminded of nature's incredible diversity and wonder. These moths serve as a testament to both scientific curiosity and artistic expression. This print invites us into a world where insects become works of art – showcasing their delicate features while igniting our imagination about their hidden lives within our natural surroundings.
