EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is taken from Curtis's British Entomology, Plate 196, featuring the elongated Pterostichus beetle, Pterostichus elongatus, and the dwarf Ranunculus plant, Ranunculus sardous. Dating back to the 1820s and 1830s, this exquisite plate is a testament to the meticulous work of John Curtis, FLS, and his team during the 19th century. The Coleoptera, or beetle, depicted in this plate is a mainland European species, with the elongated Pterostichus being particularly noteworthy due to its distinctive elongated body shape. The plant, Ranunculus sardous, is also known as the dwarf Ranunculus or Ranunculus parvulus, and is a native to Europe and western Asia. The intricate details of both the beetle and the plant are beautifully captured in this print, providing an intimate glimpse into the natural world of the 19th century. The Elongated Pterostichus can be seen gracefully perched on the delicate petals of the Ranunculus, adding an element of harmony between the two subjects. This plate is a prime example of the high-quality illustrations produced during the 19th century, showcasing the beauty and diversity of the natural world. The illustration is part of the extensive collection of John Curtis's British Entomology, a series that was instrumental in advancing the scientific understanding of the insect world during the 19th century. The intricate details and precise accuracy of the illustrations in this series continue to captivate and inspire researchers, naturalists, and enthusiasts alike, making it an invaluable resource for the study of Coleoptera and other insects.
