EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing the intricate process of breeding and trading cocoons of silk worms. The image captures a magneerie for sericiculture, where skilled laborers diligently work to nurture these delicate creatures. In the background, we see the cultivation of muriers, essential trees that provide nourishment for the bombyx caterpillars. The engraving was created by an unknown artist to illustrate Aime Humbert's voyage to Japan in 1863-1864. Humbert, a minister from the Swiss Confederation, documented his experiences in "Le tour du monde" published in 1869 by Edouard Charton. The scene depicted here offers a glimpse into the fascinating world of silk production during this era. It highlights both the meticulous care required for successful sericulture and the importance of cultivating specific trees as food sources for silkworms. With its detailed depiction and historical significance, this print from Leonard de Selva's private collection transports us back in time. It serves as a reminder of humanity's long-standing fascination with silk manufacturing technology and our relentless pursuit of beauty through craftsmanship.
