Beskrivning

Set of 2 hand-coloured engravings. The prints originate from "British Entomology" written by John Curtis. It is subtitled "Being Illustrations and Descriptions of the Genera of Insects found in Great Britain and Ireland: Containing Coloured Figures from Nature of the Most Rare and Beautiful Species, and in Many Instances of the Plants Upon Which They are Found."

John Curtis (1791–1862) was a British entomologist and illustrator, renowned for his significant contributions to the study of British insects. He is best known for his monumental work, British Entomology (1824–1839), a comprehensive guide to the insects of the British Isles, featuring meticulously detailed illustrations. Curtis combined scientific accuracy with artistic skill, making his plates valuable both as scientific references and works of art. He was also a keen observer of agricultural pests, publishing studies that highlighted the impact of insects on crops and advocating for their management.
