EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored copperplate engraving, taken from Friedrich Bertuch's Bilderbuch fur Kinder (Picture Book for Children), published in Weimar in 1798, showcases a fascinating array of beetles, specifically the Stag beetle (Lucanus cervus), the Rhinoceros beetle (Megasoma actaeon and Oryctes nasicornis), and their various life stages. The Stag beetle, depicted in the center of the image, is represented by a proud male with large antler-like mandibles and two females, one with eggs deposited in a rotten oak. The 4-year-old larva and nymph of the Stag beetle are also shown, providing a glimpse into their developmental stages. Surrounding the Stag beetles are the Rhinoceros beetles. The first Rhinoceros beetle, Megasoma actaeon, is shown with its distinctive horn and powerful legs. Two additional Rhinoceros beetles, Oryctes nasicornis, are also present, displaying their impressive size and horns. The intricate details of this engraving highlight the unique features of these beetles, making it an excellent educational tool for children. The historical significance of this image lies in its inclusion in one of the earliest known picture books for children, demonstrating the fascination with the natural world that has persisted throughout the centuries. This stunning illustration, with its vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail, not only showcases the beauty of these fascinating insects but also serves as a testament to the artistic and scientific achievements of the late 18th century.
