EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the 18th century encyclopedia takes us on a journey into the microscopic world. The plate showcases an array of microscopical objects, revealing intricate illustrations of small animals and various parts of animals. These minute organisms, often classified as animals, include fascinating creatures like rotifers, amoeba or paramecium. The image presents a visual feast for the curious mind, offering glimpses into the hidden realms that exist beyond our naked eye's perception. We are introduced to marine polyps with their delicate forms and vibrant colors. A flea is captured in astonishing detail, showcasing its remarkable structure and agility. The head louse appears magnified, exposing its tiny yet formidable presence. Further exploration reveals a mite in all its minuscule glory while darts of the gnat are frozen mid-flight under the microscope's lens. The proboscis of a dog tick stands out prominently among these microcosmic wonders. Intriguingly enough, this historical illustration also includes human semen - an unexpected inclusion that adds another layer to our understanding of life at this microscopic scale. David Parker's meticulous capture through his lens brings these extraordinary specimens to life once more. This print serves as a reminder that even within seemingly invisible dimensions lie countless marvels waiting to be discovered and appreciated by those who dare to look closer.
