EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 19th century entomological print showcases the intricately detailed illustration of the Onthophilus sulcatus and Onthophilus punctatus beetles, found within the Coleoptera family, from Curtis's British Entomology. Dated between 1824 and 1839, this plate was produced by the renowned botanical artist John Curtis FLS. The beetles, with their elongated bodies and distinctively patterned exoskeletons, are depicted in remarkable detail, showcasing their unique features. The illustration also includes the Autumnal Gentian (Gentiana amarella) plant, which serves as the natural habitat for these fascinating insects. The Gentian, with its vibrant blue-purple hue and delicate petals, adds an exquisite touch to the overall composition. The intricate veining and textures of the plant's leaves are also beautifully rendered, making this print a true testament to the artistic skill of the time. This print offers a glimpse into the natural history of the 1820s and 1830s, showcasing the meticulous attention to detail and scientific accuracy that defined the field of entomology during this era. The intricate illustrations of the Onthophilus beetles and the Autumnal Gentian plant provide a window into the rich biodiversity of the natural world and serve as a reminder of the importance of preserving and documenting the wonders of nature for future generations.
