¶ An Un-Numbered copy of a Limited Edition of 950 of a larger Limitation of 990 Copies. The facsimile colour plates have been made from original paintings in the collection of Her Majesty the Queen. Maria Sibylla Merian (1647–1717) German entomologist, naturalist and scientific illustrator. She was one of the earliest European naturalists to observe insects directly. In 1699, Merian travelled to Dutch Guiana 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 by David Attenborough to be among the more significant contributors to the field of entomology.
