EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 18th century, showcasing an exquisite artwork by Maria Sybilla Merian. The image features a stunning harlequin beetle, scientifically known as Acrocinus longimanus, perched on the vibrant fruit and leaves of an ethrog citron (Citrus medica). This masterpiece is Plate 28 from Merian's renowned book "Metamorphosibus Insectorum Surinamensium" published in 1705. Merian, a German nature illustrator ahead of her time, beautifully captures the intricate details of this South American insect amidst its natural habitat in Surinam (now called Suriname). Her work not only showcases her artistic talent but also serves as a valuable contribution to zoology and entomology. The historical significance of this artwork lies in its portrayal of the rich biodiversity found in Surinam during the 18th century. It offers us a glimpse into the diverse fauna and flora that once thrived in this tropical region. The presence of butterflies, moths, beetles, and other insects further emphasizes the importance of these creatures within their ecosystems. As we admire this piece today at the Natural History Museum in London, we are reminded of Merian's dedication to capturing nature's wonders through her illustrations. This print serves as both a testament to her legacy and an invitation for us to appreciate and protect our planet's incredible wildlife.
