EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning lithograph by John Curtis captures the intricate beauty of a variety of diptere, specifically the Spotted Flat-headed Fly, Platystoma seminationis. The fly's stuffy body and black spots are meticulously detailed, showcasing the artist's skill in capturing even the smallest features of this insect.
Set against a branch of bloodborne dogwood, Cornus sanguinea, the contrast between the delicate fly and the vibrant plant creates a visually striking composition. The dogberry or cornel tree adds a touch of natural elegance to the scene, enhancing the overall aesthetic appeal of the print.
Published in "British Entomology" between 1824 and 1839, this illustration is part of a collection of 770 images and descriptions of British insects. John Curtis' dedication to accurately depicting these creatures is evident in every stroke and color choice.
As viewers gaze upon this lithograph, they are transported into a world where nature's wonders are brought to life through art. The attention to detail and precision in execution make this piece not only an educational resource but also a work of art that can be appreciated for its beauty alone.
