EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely detailed hand-colored steel engraving showcases a serene and harmonious scene of nature, featuring the Yellow Lotus (Nelumbo lutea), White Water Lily (Nymphaea alba), and two species of leaf-footed bugs (Anisoscelis foliaceus and Anoplocnemis curvipes). The Yellow Lotus, also known as the Sacred Lotus or Indian Lotus, is depicted in full bloom, its vibrant yellow petals unfurled around a central disc. The White Water Lily floats gracefully on the still water's surface, its large, white flowers and broad, green leaves creating a striking contrast against the rich, blue background. Two intriguing leaf-footed bugs, Anisoscelis foliaceus and Anoplocnemis curvipes, can be seen on the lotus leaves. Leaf-footed bugs are known for their unique camouflage, with their hind legs resembling the texture and color of the leaves they inhabit. Anisoscelis foliaceus sports a green and brown body, while Anoplocnemis curvipes displays a more muted, brown and white coloration. This beautiful and intricate engraving was created by du Casse, based on an illustration by Adolph Fries for the "Picturesque Dictionary of Natural History," published in Paris between 1834 and 1839. The meticulous attention to detail and the vivid use of color make this a captivating representation of the natural world, transporting us to a peaceful moment in time.
