EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored copperplate engraving showcases a detailed and magnified view of the intricate anatomy of a Common Fly, Musca domestica. The image, taken from Friedrich Bertuch's Bilderbuch fur Kinder (Picture Book for Children), published in Weimar in 1798, invites us to explore the wonders of entomology and the natural world. At the center of the illustration, the head of the Common Fly is depicted in great detail. The compound eyes, each composed of thousands of facets, are clearly visible, as are the three pairs of legs and the proboscis, which is partially unfurled. The proboscis, a long, tubular structure used for feeding, is shown in two stages: first, as a coiled structure resting at the bottom of the mouthparts, and second, as it extends to reach the surface of a food source. The cornea of the Common Fly's compound eye is also highlighted in the illustration, providing a fascinating glimpse into the microscopic world of insect vision. The cornea, which forms the outermost layer of the eye, is transparent and protects the delicate structures within. Its magnified representation in this engraving offers a unique perspective on the complexities of insect anatomy. The intricacy and precision of this historical illustration serve as a testament to the scientific curiosity and artistic skill of the time. The use of handcoloring adds depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a visually stunning addition to any collection of historical entomology or natural history prints.
