EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely hand-colored copperplate engraving, titled "New Illustrations of Zoology" and published by B. White in London in 1776, showcases an impressive collection of beetles that once graced the natural history study of Mr. Yeats. The engraving, created by the skilled hand of Peter Brown, highlights the intricate details and vibrant colors of eight distinct beetle species. The first beetle, Cerambyx punctatus, is a longhorn beetle with a distinctive black and white pattern. Next, Cimex pictus and Cimex sinipes, both bed bugs, are depicted with their flat, oval bodies and distinctive shield-like pronotums. Scarabaeus oblongus and Scarabaeus serratipes, commonly known as dung beetles, are shown with their robust, spherical bodies and powerful legs. Curculio pulcher, a longhorn beetle, is depicted with its striking red and black exoskeleton. Cimex aulicus, a spittle bug, is shown with its elongated, slender body and distinctive spittle production organ. Lastly, Curculio lividus, a weevil, is illustrated with its dark blue-black coloration and distinctive snout. This stunning engraving not only showcases the beauty and diversity of these beetles but also highlights the exceptional craftsmanship of Peter Brown. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring each beetle to life, making this a valuable addition to any natural history collection or scientific study.
