EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving from the 19th century showcases a collection of strange two-winged insects, each with its own unique characteristics. The print is part of "A Bilderbuch für Kinder" (Picture Book for Children) published between 1790 and 1830 by Friedrich Justin Bertuch, a renowned German author. The intricate artwork depicts various insect species in exquisite detail. Among them are Kirby's snipe fly, the elongated Mydas fly, the common cross-fly, the formidable horsefly, and many more fascinating creatures. Each insect is meticulously illustrated to highlight their distinct features and vibrant colors. The composition captures the diversity of these winged wonders while offering an educational glimpse into the world of entomology. It serves as a testament to both artistic skill and scientific curiosity prevalent during that era. Preserved in a private collection, this historical print provides us with a window into nature's intricacies through artistry. The delicate engravings invite viewers to marvel at the complexity and beauty found within even the smallest creatures on Earth. Thanks to ePurix Verlag Volker Christen for making this extraordinary piece available for public appreciation.
