EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored stipple engraving, titled "Les Insectes" and created by Pancrace Bessa for Charles Malo in Paris in 1820, showcases an impressive array of beetles. The intricately detailed image features six distinct species: a Marsh Beetle (Elodes 1), a Harpalus Beetle (2), a Jewel Beetle (Buprestis 3), a Flea Beetle (Altica famelica), a Rose Chafer (Cetonia species 5), and several other beetles identified as Eumolpe, Dore, Hoplia farineuse, Buprestis imperialis, Chrysochus auratus, Argentea, Banksia cyrioides, Eumolpus fulgidus, Surinamensis, and Imperialis. The Marsh Beetle, with its long, slender body and distinctive antennae, is often found near water. The Harpalus Beetle, characterized by its large, rounded body and elytra (wing cases), is a common ground beetle. The Jewel Beetle, with its iridescent exoskeleton, is a popular subject in entomology due to its striking appearance. The Flea Beetle, a small, jumpy beetle, is known for its ability to damage crops. The Rose Chafer, also known as a Cetonia, is a large, colorful beetle that feeds on the nectar of roses. The other beetles depicted in the engraving, including the Eumolpe, Dore, Hoplia, Buprestis, Chrysochus, Argentea, Banksia, Cyrioides, Eumolpus, Fulgidus, Surinamensis, and Imperialis, each possess unique characteristics and habitats. This beautiful and intricately detailed engraving is a testament to the artistry and scientific curiosity of the early 19th century. It provides a glimpse into the natural world of beetles, showcasing their diverse forms and beauty. The use of hand-coloring adds an additional layer of depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a true work of art.
