EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning lithograph by John Curtis captures the intricate beauty of a variety of diptere insects alongside the elegant plant of large peppers or officinale sanguisorb. Published in "British Entomology" between 1824 and 1839, this print is part of a collection of 770 illustrations and descriptions of British insects, showcasing Curtis' meticulous attention to detail and scientific accuracy.
In this particular piece, we see Tipula longicornis and Tipula flavolineata, also known as Long-horned daddy long-legs, gracefully intertwined with the great burnet plant Sanguisorba officinalis. The hand-colored copperplate adds a touch of vibrancy to the delicate lines and shading, bringing these creatures to life on paper.
Curtis was renowned for his dedication to capturing the essence of each insect he illustrated, providing valuable insights into their anatomy and behavior for generations to come. His work remains a testament to both his artistic skill and his passion for entomology.
As we gaze upon this lithograph, we are transported back in time to an era when naturalists like Curtis roamed the countryside in search of new discoveries. It serves as a reminder of the wonders that can be found in even the smallest corners of our world.
