EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored copperplate engraving captures the intricate stages of the metamorphosis of a silkworm, from a young caterpillar shedding its skin to spinning a silk cocoon, entering the chrysalis stage, and finally emerging as a moth. The detailed illustration is part of Friedrich Johann Bertuch's renowned "Bilderbuch fur Kinder" (Picture Book for Children), published in Weimar in 1792. Friedrich Johann Bertuch, a German publisher and man of arts, is best known for his comprehensive encyclopedia for children that featured 1,200 engraved plates on various subjects including natural history, science, costume, mythology, and more. This particular print showcases the fascinating transformation process of one of nature's most intriguing creatures. The delicate colors used to enhance this engraving bring each stage of the silkworm's metamorphosis to life with exquisite detail. From the vibrant greens of the caterpillar to the shimmering threads of silk being spun into a cocoon, every aspect is meticulously depicted. This image serves as both an educational tool and a work of art that highlights the beauty and complexity found in nature's transformative processes. It stands as a testament to Bertuch's dedication to providing children with engaging visual representations of the world around them.
