EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print showcases a selection of specimens from the renowned Paul Hermann Collection, housed at The Natural History Museum in London. Dating back to the late 17th century, this collection represents an invaluable record of the natural world, particularly from Sri Lanka (Ceylon) during the Dutch East India Company's occupation from 1672 to 1677. The image features an array of intricately preserved insects and butterflies, including various species of Asian butterflies. The vibrant wings of these exquisite creatures are a testament to the rich biodiversity of the region. Among the specimens, one can identify several members of the Anacardiaceae family, such as the cashew nut, which is depicted with its flowering plant. The Paul Hermann Collection is a unique historical document, providing insights into the natural history of Asia during a time when European exploration and scientific discovery were at their height. The specimens in this collection are not only of great scientific value but also serve as a reminder of the fascinating interconnections between different parts of the world during this period. The specimens in this photograph print belong to the phylum Arthropoda, specifically the classes Insecta and Hexapoda. The insects and butterflies are part of the Eudicot clade, which includes flowering plants such as the cashew tree (Anacardium occidentale). The intricate details of these specimens, captured in this photograph, offer a glimpse into the natural beauty and diversity that existed in Sri Lanka during the late 17th century.
