Maria Sibylla Merian’s ‘Over de voortteeling en wonderbaerlyke veranderingen der Surinaemsche insecten’ (1705) is without a doubt one of the most beautiful natural history books in the world and is considered a masterpiece. One of the original handcoloured editions is part of the collection of the Allard Pierson. Merian (Frankfurt am Main 1647 – Amsterdam 1717) traveled to Surinam with her daughter in 1699 to study the reproduction and development of insects and caterpillars. She was not only a talented artist but an exceptional scientist as well.

This print of a pomegranate and butterfly was printed with Canons innovative 12-color LUCIA PRO-ink on high quality 180 gram paper. The print is highly uv proof and waterproof.
