EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Moth," was captured between 1911 and 1920 by the renowned American photography studio, Harris & Ewing. The studio, founded by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze, was known for its exceptional work in documenting the natural world, particularly in the field of entomology. The photograph showcases an exquisitely detailed moth, its wings spread wide, revealing a mesmerizing pattern of intricate markings. The moth's body is resting on a surface, with a ruler placed nearby for scale, allowing us to appreciate the true size of this magnificent creature. The glass negative, a testament to the studio's mastery of the photographic process, captures every minute detail of the moth's anatomy, from its antennae to its intricately patterned wings. The moth, likely a member of the Lepidoptera order, is a prime example of nature's stunning camouflage. Its wings are adorned with a complex design, which serves as both a protective mechanism and a means of communication. This photograph is not only a beautiful work of art but also a valuable scientific record, contributing to the growing body of knowledge in the fields of lepidopterology and zoology during the early 20th century in the United States. The Harris & Ewing Collection, which includes this photograph, is a testament to the studio's dedication to capturing the natural world with precision and artistry. This image, with its striking composition and intricate details, continues to captivate viewers and inspire awe more than a century later.
