EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving captures the delicate beauty of a Plum tree thecle butterfly perched on an oak branch. The intricate details of the Black hairstreak butterfly, Satyrium pruni, contrast beautifully against the lush green oak leaves in this 18th-century illustration by Jacob l'Admiral.
Originally featured in Naauwkeurige Waarneemingen omtrent de veranderingen van veele Insekten (Accurate Descriptions of the Metamorphoses of Insects) published in Amsterdam in 1774, this print is a testament to the scientific and artistic exploration of nature during that era. Meticulously drawn and etched, it showcases not only the technical skill of the artist but also their keen observation of insect metamorphosis.
The addition of eight new plates by M. Houttuyn for the second edition further enriches this collection, providing viewers with a comprehensive study of various insect species. Each plate offers a glimpse into the fascinating world of entomology and serves as a reminder of our interconnectedness with nature.
As you admire this stunning artwork, take a moment to appreciate the intricate patterns on the butterfly's wings and marvel at its graceful presence amidst its natural habitat. This print is not just a visual delight but also a valuable historical document that continues to inspire curiosity and wonder about the wonders of our natural world.
