EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning lithograph by John Curtis captures the intricate beauty of the Insect Drypta dentata (coleoptere) against a backdrop of a sea buckthorn patch. The detailed illustration, handcoloured by Curtis himself, is part of his renowned work "British Entomology", which consists of 770 illustrations and descriptions of British insects.
The Blue Drypta beetle stands out against the vibrant green leaves and orange berries of the sea buckthorn plant, Hippophae rhamnoides. The delicate lines and shading in this lithograph showcase Curtis's exceptional skill as an illustrator and naturalist.
Published in London between 1824 to 1839, this print not only serves as a scientific record but also as a piece of art that highlights the wonders of nature. The precision with which Curtis has captured every detail of the insect and its surroundings is truly remarkable.
As we admire this lithograph, we are transported back in time to when these creatures roamed freely in their natural habitat. It serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving our environment and appreciating the diversity found within it.
Overall, this print is a testament to John Curtis's dedication to documenting and celebrating the beauty of British insects, making it a valuable addition to any collection or display dedicated to entomology or natural history.
