EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of three different moth species: the Red-headed chestnut (Conistra erythrocephala), the Toadflax brocade (Calophasia lunula), and the Grey shoulder knot (Lithophane ornitopus). Handcoloured by Johann Carl Bock after Eugenius Johann Christoph Esper's original copperplate engraving, this artwork is a testament to both artistic skill and scientific observation. The Red-headed chestnut, with its vibrant red hues, stands out against the delicate green leaves in the background. Its intricate patterns and textures are brought to life through careful hand-colouring techniques. The Toadflax brocade, on the other hand, displays a more subdued palette of browns and creams. Its wings seem almost translucent as they catch the light. Finally, we have the Grey shoulder knot, an elegant moth with soft grey tones that blend seamlessly into its surroundings. Each detail of these moths' anatomy has been meticulously captured in this engraving - from their antennae to their delicate wingspan. This artwork is part of Eugenius Johann Christoph Esper's renowned publication "Die Schmetterlinge in Abbildungen nach der Natur" which was published in Erlangen in 1786. It serves as a valuable historical record of these fascinating creatures and allows us to appreciate their beauty even centuries later. Whether you are an entomology enthusiast or simply someone who appreciates nature's wonders, this stunning print will undoubtedly captivate your imagination and bring a touch of elegance to any space it adorns.
