Item Overview

Description

This striking, originally hand-colored entomology engraving is from Carl Gustav Jablonsky’s work Natursystem aller bekannten in- und ausländischen Insecten: Schmetterlinge or Natural History Survey of Insects, Including Related Foreign Ones: Butterflies. The work was published by Pauli / Reimer in Berlin between 1783 and 1804.

Jablonsky was a naturalist and private secretary to the Queen of Prussia. Johann F. W. Herbst edited the work after the early death of Jablonsky at age 31. Herbst was a German naturalist and entomologist.

The work was published when the Linnaeus system was just beginning to be used. Each engraving is aesthetically pleasing and scientifically accurate.
