EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of nature's wonders. The image features a Guava (Psidium guineense) adorned with a hairy larva species known as Podalia or Megalopyge. The vibrant colors and delicate details of this unique creature are truly mesmerizing. In addition to the Guava and its fascinating larva, the print also displays the remarkable life cycle of another insect - the tobacco hawk moth (Manduca sexta). We can observe both the larva and pupa stages of this magnificent moth, adding further depth to this visual narrative. The artwork is derived from Maria Sybilla Merian's renowned publication "Over de voortteeling en wonderbaerlyke veranderingen der Surinaemsche insecten" (On the reproduction and miraculous transformations of Surinamese insects), which was co-authored by Peter Sluyter. This particular engraving, hand-colored with meticulous attention to detail, dates back to 1719 and belongs to the Dutch edition of "Metamorphosis insectorum Surinamensium" (Insects of Suriname). As we gaze upon this extraordinary composition, we are reminded of nature's infinite diversity and its ability to surprise us at every turn. It serves as a testament to Maria Sibylla Merian's pioneering work in documenting these enchanting creatures from Suriname for generations to come.
