EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of a Canadian Silkworm (Attacus Cecropia) in all its glory. Engraved by an English School artist in the 19th century, this artwork is now part of a private collection. The image captures the intricate details of this remarkable creature, from its vibrant plum-colored wings to its delicate cocoon. The silkworm rests gracefully on a twig, showcasing its connection to nature and highlighting its role as an essential insect in the ecosystem. With entomology enthusiasts and nature lovers alike in mind, this engraving offers a glimpse into the fascinating world of silk production. The Canadian Silkworm feeds on Prunus Americana leaves, transforming them into luxurious silk threads that have been highly sought after for centuries. As we admire this enchanting depiction, it's impossible not to marvel at the wonders found within Canada's wilderness. This illustration originally appeared in The Illustrated London News back in August 1863, serving as both educational material and artistic inspiration for readers across generations. Let us appreciate the diversity and natural splendor that North America has to offer through this mesmerizing portrayal of Attacus Cecropia—the emblematic symbol of Canada's rich insect heritage.
