EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving, created by Daniel Rabel after a botanical illustration by Maria Sibylla Merian, showcases the enchanting encounter between a Spring crocus (Crocus vernus) and a European peacock butterfly (Aglais io) in a serene garden setting. The delicate Spring crocus, with its distinctive purple violet bloom and yellow stigma, is nestled among the lush green foliage, its petals unfurling to welcome the sun's warm rays. In the foreground, a curious canine, possibly a dog or a fox terrier, investigates the tooth-like structure of the crocus, adding a playful touch to the scene. Meanwhile, the European peacock butterfly, with its vibrant wings adorned with intricate patterns reminiscent of an exotic peacock's plumage, flutters gracefully above the crocus, its long proboscis reaching out to sip nectar from the flower. The intricate details of the illustration, from the veins on the butterfly's wings to the texture of the dog's fur, are a testament to the skill and artistry of Maria Sibylla Merian and Daniel Rabel. This image is taken from Pierre Joseph Buchoz's Histoire Generale des Insectes de Surinam et de tout L Europe, Troisieme edition revue, corrigee et considerablement augmentee par M. Buchoz, published in Paris in 1771. The work, which was a significant contribution to the field of entomology and botany, showcased Merian's meticulous illustrations of various insects and plants, providing a detailed record of the natural world during the Age of Enlightenment.
