EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored copperplate engraving, created by Peter Brown in 1776 for Governor Joan Gideon Loten's "New Illustrations of Zoology," showcases two fascinating species native to Africa: the African rail, Rallus caerulescens (Rallus capensis), and the Clymene moth, Haploa clymene. The African rail, also known as the African moorhen or the blue coot, is a bird species that can be found in wetland habitats across the African continent. With its striking blue-grey plumage, this bird blends seamlessly into its aquatic environment. The African rail is an omnivorous species, feeding on a variety of plants and small animals, making it an essential component of the wetland ecosystem. The Clymene moth, on the other hand, is a beautiful and intricately patterned insect. The species is named after Clymene, a nymph in Greek mythology, and is a member of the family Saturniidae. The Clymene moth's wings display a stunning array of colors, from deep browns and oranges to vibrant greens and yellows. These moths are primarily nocturnal and are attracted to flowers for nectar. Pieter de Bevere's illustration, expertly hand-colored and engraved by Peter Brown, provides a detailed and accurate representation of these two remarkable African species. The intricacy and beauty of the engraving serve as a testament to the skill and artistry of the artists and the importance of natural history documentation during the 18th century.
