EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured stipple engraving, titled "Ground Beetle, Scarab, and Cockchafer" by Pancrace Bessa, is an exquisite example of entomological illustration from the early 19th century. The intricately detailed print, published in Charles Malos' "Les Insectes" by Louis Janet in Paris in 1820, showcases a diverse array of beetle and scarab species. At the center, the ground beetle (Dytiscus bimaculatus) is depicted with its powerful legs and elongated body, camouflaged against the earthy background. To its left, a scarab (species unknown) is shown with its distinctive C-shaped scarabaeid body and powerful mandibles. Nearby, a cockchafer or May beetle (Melolontha melolontha) is illustrated with its vibrant, metallic exoskeleton and long antennae. Surrounding these three primary subjects, various other beetle species are depicted, each with their unique characteristics. The Cantharis beetle (Cantharis beetle), Carabus sexpunciatus, Omophron limbatum, Lampyris rosea, Staphylinus erythropterus, Ampedus sanguineus, Silpha pedemonta, Temnoscheila virescens, Cetoine aurata, Lampyre plumeux, Staphylinus erythrocephalus, Trogossite vert, and Cetoine doree are all represented in this illustration. The meticulous handcolouring and stipple engraving techniques used by Pancrace Bessa bring these insects to life, providing a detailed and accurate record of their appearances. This beautiful print is a testament to the artistry and scientific curiosity of the early 19th century, and remains an essential resource for entomological research and appreciation today.
