EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a Crane-Fly, specifically Tipula longicornis, as illustrated by John Curtis in 1834 and published in his renowned work "British Entomology" in 1945. The image is extracted from the book "Insect Life in Britain" authored by Geoffrey Taylor and published by Collins in London during the same year. The photograph captures the essence of English wildlife with its vibrant colors and delicate wings. The detailed depiction of this British insect allows us to appreciate its unique features, such as its long antennae that gracefully extend into the frame. This enchanting creature serves as a testament to nature's wonders found within England's countryside. Dating back to the mid-20th century, this historical engraving offers a glimpse into both scientific exploration and social history during that decade. It stands as a testament to William Collins' contribution to natural history publications through their publishing house William Collins & Sons. As we admire this print, we are reminded of our connection with nature and how it has fascinated scientists like John Curtis for centuries. Through images like these, we can delve into the rich tapestry of British entomology while appreciating the artistry behind capturing these remarkable creatures on paper.
