EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured lithograph captures the delicate beauty of nature in exquisite detail. The Dot moth, Melanchra persiculae, and the hummingbird hawk-moth, Macroglossum stellatarum, are depicted feeding on the vibrant blooms of the greater bindweed, Convolvulus species. The intricate patterns and colors of these creatures come to life under the skilled hand of artist Moses Harris.
The illustration is part of "The Aurelian; a Natural History of English Moths and Butterflies," edited by J.O. Westwood and published in London in 1840. This new edition showcases the wonders of entomology through detailed engravings that capture every aspect of these fascinating insects' lives.
As you gaze upon this print, you can almost hear the gentle hum of wings as the hummingbird hawk-moth flits from flower to flower, sipping nectar with its long proboscis. The Dot moth's intricate markings blend seamlessly with its surroundings, showcasing nature's perfect camouflage.
This piece serves as a reminder of the incredible diversity and beauty found in our natural world. It is a testament to both the artistry of Moses Harris and the wonderment inspired by observing these tiny creatures up close.
