EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Hercules beetle, a male specimen of Dynastes hercules and Scarabaeus hercules. The image, captured by an English School artist in the 19th century, is a handcoloured steel engraving by William Lizars from James Duncan's renowned Natural History of Beetles. Sir William Jardine's Naturalists Library also features this remarkable piece. The intricate details and vibrant colors in this scientific illustration truly bring the Hercules beetle to life. Its large size and distinctive horn-like protrusions on its head resemble those of a rhinoceros beetle, making it an awe-inspiring creature to behold. This stunning artwork serves as a testament to both the beauty and diversity found within the world of insects. James Duncan, a Scottish zoologist and entomologist during the early 1800s, contributed significantly to our understanding of beetles through his extensive research. His collaboration with illustrator William Lizars resulted in visually striking depictions that continue to captivate viewers even today. By showcasing this extraordinary species alongside other notable beetles like oil beetles, sexton beetles, and blister beetles, this print offers a glimpse into the fascinating world of coleoptera. It reminds us of the incredible variety present in nature's creations while highlighting their importance within ecosystems worldwide. Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection proudly presents this exceptional photograph for all wildlife enthusiasts who appreciate scientific illustrations as works of art themselves.
