EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite lithograph by John Curtis captures the delicate beauty of the mountain corythee butterfly, also known as Thera coniferata or Thera cognata, as it rests gracefully on a common juniper tree. The intricate details of the butterfly's wings and the juniper's foliage are brought to life through hand-colored copperplate printing, showcasing Curtis' skill as an illustrator.
Published in "British Entomology" between 1824 and 1839, this print is part of a collection of 770 illustrations and descriptions of British insects. Curtis dedicated himself to documenting the diverse insect species found in Great Britain and Ireland, providing valuable insights into their habitats and behaviors.
The juxtaposition of the Durham Juniper Moth with the juniper tree, Juniperus communis, creates a harmonious composition that highlights the interconnectedness of nature. The soft hues used in coloring add a sense of warmth to the image, inviting viewers to appreciate the intricacy and fragility of these creatures.
As we admire this artwork today, we are reminded of Curtis' dedication to preserving and celebrating the natural world through his meticulous illustrations. This print serves as a timeless reminder of the importance of biodiversity conservation and our responsibility to protect these enchanting species for future generations to enjoy.
