EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Abeilles - in 'Contributions to the genetics of drosophila melanogaster'" takes us back to 1919, a time when scientific research was flourishing. The image is part of a book edited by the American School and published by the Carnegie Institute of Washington. It showcases an intricate drawing of bees, highlighting their role in the study of genetics. The artist behind this remarkable piece is Leonard de Selva, an American photographer whose work has stood the test of time. His attention to detail and artistic flair are evident in every stroke captured on paper. In this particular print, de Selva beautifully captures the essence of these buzzing insects, portraying them with precision and grace. The bees seem almost lifelike as they hover over delicate flowers, showcasing their vital connection to nature's cycle. As we delve into history through this photograph, we are reminded of Thomas H. Morgan's groundbreaking research on drosophila melanogaster (fruit flies). These tiny creatures played a crucial role in unraveling genetic mysteries that continue to shape our understanding today. This print not only serves as a visual delight but also pays homage to significant scientific contributions made during that era. It stands as a testament to both artistry and intellectual curiosity – two realms that often intertwine for those seeking knowledge and beauty simultaneously.
