EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of the Dark Tussock, scientifically known as Dicallomera fascelina. The image is a handcoloured copperplate engraving created by Johann Carl Bock in the 18th century. It forms part of Eugenius Johann Christoph Esper's renowned work, "Die Schmetterlinge in Abbildungen nach der Natur" which translates to "The Butterflies Illustrated from Nature". The Dark Tussock is depicted at different stages of its life cycle, including pupa, larva (caterpillar), and adult moth. This metamorphosis process exemplifies nature's remarkable transformation and adds an element of wonder to this artwork. Bock's attention to detail is evident in his intricate engravings that beautifully capture the colors and patterns adorning this species. The delicate wings exhibit vibrant hues that are expertly handcolored, bringing the butterfly to life on paper. As we gaze upon this enchanting print, we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen forever by Bock's skilled hands. We can appreciate not only the artistic mastery behind this creation but also gain insight into entomology and Lepidoptera studies during the 18th century. This print serves as a testament to our fascination with insects and their place within our natural world. It reminds us of their importance as vital components of ecosystems and encourages us to marvel at their incredible diversity.
