EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving, titled "Silk moth and silkworm, Bombyx mori, on mulberry leaves, Morus alba," is a stunning representation of the metamorphosis of the silk moth and silkworm. Drawn and etched by the skilled hand of Jacob L. Admiral in the second edition of "Naauwkeurige Waarneemingen omtrent de veranderingen van veele Insekten" (Accurate Descriptions of the Metamorphoses of Insects), published by J. Sluyter in Amsterdam in 1774, this engraving showcases the intricate details of the silk moth and silkworm's life cycle. The image captures the silk moth, with its magnificent wings spread wide, perched gracefully on the leaves of a mulberry tree (Morus alba). The mulberry tree is an essential host plant for the silkworm, which can be seen in various stages of development in the lower left corner of the engraving. The silkworm is depicted as a larva, engulfing a leaf, and as a pupa, enclosed in a cocoon. The transformation from caterpillar to pupa to adult moth is a testament to the beauty and complexity of the natural world. The intricacy of the engraving is further enhanced by the hand-coloring, which brings the image to life with vibrant hues. The delicate shading and attention to detail in the engraving and hand-coloring make this a truly beautiful and educational piece. This engraving is not only a visual delight but also a valuable historical document, providing insight into the natural history of the silk industry and the scientific observations of the 18th century.
