EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Nut-tree tussock and plumed prominent" transports us back to the 18th century, where Johann Carl Bock's handcoloured copperplate engraving beautifully captures the intricate details of these two enchanting butterflies. The Nut-tree tussock, scientifically known as Colocasia coryli, and the Plumed prominent, or Ptilophora plumigera, are showcased in all their glory. Eugenius Johann Christoph Esper's work "Die Schmetterlinge in Abbildungen nach der Natur" serves as the inspiration for this exquisite piece. It is a testament to Bock's skill as an engraver that he was able to bring these delicate creatures to life with such precision. The metamorphosis process is highlighted here - from pupa to larva and finally into a fully formed butterfly. This image reminds us of nature's remarkable ability for transformation and adaptation. The vibrant colors used in this artwork add depth and dimension to each wing pattern. Every stroke of color showcases the beauty found within our natural world. As we gaze upon this print by Bridgeman Images, we are reminded of the importance of preserving our wildlife and appreciating its diversity. These butterflies serve as a reminder that even small creatures can have a profound impact on our ecosystem.
