EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the delicate beauty of two stunning moth species, the white satin moth and the white prominent. The image, captured by Johann Carl Bock in the 18th century, is a handcoloured copperplate engraving from Eugenius Johann Christoph Esper's renowned work "Die Schmetterlinge in Abbildungen nach der Natur". The exquisite details of these moths are brought to life through careful coloring and intricate lines. The white satin moth, also known as Leucoma salicis or satin moth, features soft white wings that seem to shimmer like silk. Its elegant presence is complemented by the white prominent, scientifically named Leucodonta bicoloria. This species boasts striking patterns on its wings that add an element of intrigue. Bock's artwork not only captures the visual allure of these insects but also serves as a testament to their role in nature. Moths undergo a remarkable metamorphosis process from pupa to larva before transforming into beautiful winged creatures. Their presence adds vibrancy and diversity to our natural world. This print offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate both the artistic skill involved in creating such detailed engravings and the wonder of these enchanting creatures themselves. It serves as a reminder that even seemingly ordinary insects can possess extraordinary beauty when observed closely.
