EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Trumpet manucode, beetle and wild dagga" showcases the exquisite beauty of nature in the 19th century. Created by Adolph Fries and handcoloured by du Casse, this print is a true masterpiece. The focal point of the artwork is the trumpet manucode, also known as Phonygammus keraudrenii. With its vibrant plumage and elegant posture, it stands out against the backdrop of lush greenery. Beside it sits a beetle called Pholidotus humboldtii, its iridescent shell reflecting light in mesmerizing patterns. Adding to the composition's allure is the presence of wild dagga or Leonotis leonurus (Phlomis leonurus). Its fiery orange flowers create a striking contrast against the surrounding foliage. This plant was highly valued for its medicinal properties and was often used in traditional remedies. The engraving not only captures these remarkable creatures but also pays tribute to scientific exploration during that era. It exemplifies how natural history played an essential role in expanding our understanding of the world around us. Displayed within private collections worldwide, this enchanting piece continues to inspire awe and appreciation for both artistry and science. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, we can still marvel at nature's wonders through artistic expressions like this one.
