EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving titled "The Silkworm" takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing the intricate beauty of nature. The artwork, created by an anonymous German artist from that era, is now part of a private collection. From A Bilderbuch fAor KinderA (Picture Book for Children) published between 1790 and 1830 by Friedrich Justin Bertuch, this print captures the life cycle of the silkworm. The delicate creature starts as a caterpillar-like larva known as Seidenraupe before transforming into a magnificent butterfly. The image portrays not only the silkworm but also other butterflies fluttering around it. This depiction highlights the diversity and wonder found in our natural world. Through skilled engraving techniques, every detail comes to life - from the intricate patterns on their wings to their graceful flight. This particular print has been preserved over time and is now made available by ePurix Verlag Volker Christen. Its historical significance lies not only in its artistic value but also in its contribution to our understanding of insects and wildlife during that period. As we gaze upon this enchanting scene captured centuries ago, we are reminded of nature's endless marvels and how art can transport us through time.
