EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored stipple engraving, titled "Les Insectes," showcases an impressive array of beetles and related insects, meticulously captured by the skilled hand of Pancrace Bessa in 1820. The illustration includes six distinct species of beetles and one wasp, each showcasing their unique features and intricate patterns. The first beetle, identified as Chrysochus auratus or the Dogbane Beetle, is depicted with a vibrant green exoskeleton and distinctive white markings. The second beetle, Hoplia argentea or the Banksia Jewel Beetle, boasts a metallic blue-green sheen and a striking, elongated snout. The third beetle, Cyrioides imperialis, is characterized by its large, golden-brown body and distinctive antennae. The fourth beetle, Eumolpus fulgidus, displays a brilliant red and black exoskeleton, while the fifth beetle, Eumolpus surinamensis, is adorned with a striking pattern of yellow, black, and white. The final insect in this illustration is a wasp, identified as Vespa crabro or the German Wasp, which adds a fascinating contrast to the collection of beetles. This stunning work of art is an essential addition to any entomology or natural history collection and provides a fascinating glimpse into the intricacies of the natural world as it was understood during the early 19th century. The meticulous attention to detail and the artistry of the hand-coloring technique bring these insects to life, allowing us to appreciate their beauty and complexity in a way that words alone cannot convey.
