Plate 69 | Postcard

This postcard features Plate 69 from Maria Sibylla Merian's renowned Metamorphosis of the Insects of Suriname. The exquisite hand-colored engraving is one of 72 that were based on the meticulous sketches and field notes Merian made during her two years in the Dutch colony of Suriname in South America. Merian's work captures the beauty and complexity of insect metamorphosis, elegantly depicting the stages of development and their relationship to indigenous plants.
