EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving captures the delicate beauty of the Cucubale Moth, also known as the Campion moth, Sideridis rivularis. The intricate details of this stunning insect perched on a flower are brought to life by the skilled hand of artist Jacob l'Admiral in his work for Naauwkeurige Waarneemingen omtrent de veranderingen van veele Insekten (Accurate Descriptions of the Metamorphoses of Insects) published in Amsterdam in 1774. The vibrant colors and lifelike representation make it hard to believe that this image is over two centuries old. The addition of eight plates by M. Houttuyn for the second edition only enhances the collection's beauty and scientific accuracy. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to an era when naturalists meticulously documented and illustrated every aspect of the natural world. The attention to detail in capturing not just the moth itself but also its habitat and surroundings is truly remarkable. This piece serves as a reminder of both the artistic talent and scientific curiosity that have driven our understanding and appreciation of nature throughout history. It is a testament to human ingenuity and creativity, as well as a celebration of the wonders that can be found right outside our doorstep.
