EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored copperplate engraving showcases the Red Underwing, Catocala nupta, a beautiful moth species native to North America. The Red Underwing, also known as the Polyphemus Moth in some regions, is named for the striking red patches on its wings, which are revealed when the moth is disturbed and flies. This engraving, published in The Naturalist's Pocket Magazine in Harrison, London, in 1800, captures the intricate details of the moth's wings and body with remarkable accuracy. The naturalist Moses Harris, who contributed many illustrations to the magazine, likely oversaw the production of this engraving. The Red Underwing is a prominent member of the Saturniidae family, known for their large size and distinctive markings. This elegant and intricately detailed engraving not only serves as a testament to the skill of the engraver but also highlights the beauty and diversity of the natural world, as documented by early naturalists.
