EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of stick insects or phasmids, captured in an engraving by Auguste Dumenil. Created between 1834 and 1839, this handcoloured steel engraving is a testament to the meticulous artistry of its time. The image features two species of stick insects, Carausius morosus and Clonopsis gallica, along with a wandering crab spider called Philodromus aureolus. The delicate details are brought to life through the skilled craftsmanship of Dumenil, who expertly captures the essence of these fascinating creatures. Originally published in Felix-Edouard Guerin-Meneville's renowned work "Dictionnaire Pittoresque d'Histoire Naturelle" (Picturesque Dictionary of Natural History) in Paris, this engraving offers a glimpse into the natural world as it was understood during the 19th century. It serves as a valuable resource for zoologists and entomologists studying these unique insect species. The vibrant colors used to handcolour this steel engraving add depth and dimension to each creature depicted. With no people present in the composition, we are able to focus solely on appreciating nature's wonders. This print is not only a visual delight but also an important historical artifact that reflects both artistic skill and scientific exploration. Its presence reminds us of our enduring fascination with wildlife and our ongoing quest to understand and appreciate Earth's diverse ecosystems.
