EDITORS COMMENTS
This print is a beautiful representation of Curtis British Entomology Plate 59, featuring the Irish Cossonus Weevil (Cossonus tardii, now known as Mesites tardii) on its native host plant, the Holly-tree (Ilex aquifolium). Dated between 1824 and 1839, this exquisite illustration is a testament to the meticulous work of the renowned British naturalist, John Curtis FLS. The plate, which is part of the extensive and influential "Curtis's Botanical Magazine for Register of Figures of the Orders Linnaeana," is a significant contribution to the scientific documentation of the Coleoptera (beetles) species during the 19th century. The Irish Cossonus Weevil, a small, brown weevil with distinctive features, is depicted in striking detail, showcasing its unique anatomical characteristics. The accompanying plant, Ilex aquifolium, commonly known as the holly tree, is depicted in its full glory, with its glossy, evergreen leaves and distinctive red berries. The intricate relationship between the weevil and its host plant is beautifully captured in this illustration, providing valuable insights into the natural history of these organisms. This print, with its rich historical and scientific significance, is a must-have for entomologists, natural history enthusiasts, and anyone with an appreciation for the intricacies of the natural world. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring the Irish Cossonus Weevil and the Holly-tree to life, transporting us back to the 1820s and 1830s when such discoveries were shaping our understanding of the natural world.
