EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a delicate white lily, known as Lys (lis) in French, with its long leaf edge. The image is taken from the renowned book "Histoire generale des insects de Surinam et de toute l Europe" by Maria Sibylla de Merian, published in Paris in 1771. Maria Sibylla de Merian was a talented artist and naturalist who dedicated her life to studying and documenting insects. The print captures the intricate details of both the flower and an accompanying butterfly resting on one of its petals. The engraving technique used gives the image a timeless quality, highlighting each fine line and curve with precision. The composition evokes a sense of wonder at the beauty found in nature's smallest creatures. It serves as a reminder that even something as seemingly insignificant as an insect can possess extraordinary grace and elegance. This particular print is part of the collection held at Bibliotheque in Maisons-Alfort, France. Its inclusion in this esteemed library speaks to its historical significance within the field of natural history. Leonard de Selva's expert photography brings out every nuance of color and texture present in this stunning botanical illustration. This image not only appeals to those interested in botany or entomology but also captivates anyone who appreciates artistry inspired by nature's wonders.
