EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of nature, featuring a thistle-like plant known as Solanum stramoniifolium. The plant is adorned with a stunning Automeris species moth, its vibrant colors and delicate wings adding an enchanting touch to the composition. Alongside the moth, there is also a fascinating unidentified larva crawling on the plant's leaves. The image originates from Maria Sybilla Merian's renowned work "Over de voortteeling en wonderbaerlyke veranderingen der Surinaemsche insecten" (On the reproduction and miraculous transformations of Surinamese insects). Published in 1719, this Dutch edition captures Merian's meticulous observations and illustrations of various insect species found in Suriname. Joseph Mulder skillfully transferred and hand-colored this engraving, preserving every detail with precision. The result is a visually striking piece that not only serves as a testament to Merian's scientific contributions but also stands as a work of art in its own right. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are reminded of nature's extraordinary diversity and interconnectedness. It invites us to appreciate the wonders that surround us daily, even in seemingly ordinary plants like thistles. Through her artwork, Merian encourages us to explore further into the world of insects and discover their hidden marvels – an invitation that still resonates today.
