EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored copperplate engraving depicts the metamorphosis of a silkworm, a natural wonder that has fascinated generations. The image begins with a young caterpillar, its tiny body crawling on a leaf, shedding its skin in the process of growing. The next stage shows the caterpillar spinning its silk cocoon around itself, meticulously weaving a protective casing. As the cocoon hardens, the caterpillar transforms into a chrysalis, a transitional phase where the old body dissolves and the new form begins to take shape. Finally, the chrysalis splits open, revealing the fully formed moth, ready to embark on a new life. This enchanting illustration is taken from Friedrich Johann Bertuch's "Bilderbuch fur Kinder" (Picture Book for Children), published in Weimar in 1792. Bertuch was a renowned German publisher and man of arts, best known for his 12-volume encyclopedia for children, which featured over 1,200 engraved plates on various subjects, including natural history, science, costume, and mythology. This particular image showcases the intricacies of the silkworm's metamorphosis, providing an educational and visually appealing experience for young readers. The intricate details of the engraving, combined with the vibrant hand-coloring, make this an exquisite piece of art and a testament to the beauty of the natural world.
