Item Details
Description
Five Vintage Engravings, finely hand colored after Maria Sibylla Merian (1647-1717). From Metamorphosis Insectorum Surinamensium. All professionally framed and matted in gold leaf frames. Each 10"x13"x1", Weight combined 5 pds. Maria Sibylla Merian was a German-born naturalist and scientific illustrator, a descendant of the Frankfurt branch of the Swiss Merian family. Merian was one of the early European naturalists to observe insects directly. In 1699, Merian traveled to Dutch Surinam to study and record the tropical insects native to the region. In 1705, she published Metamorphosis insectorum Surinamensium. Merian's Metamorphosis has been credited with influencing a range of naturalist illustrators. Because of her careful observations and documentation of the metamorphosis of the butterfly, Merian is considered to be among the more significant contributors to the field of entomology by David Attenborough.
