About the book

Maria Sibylla Merian's work on Surinam records the plants and insects she studied during her pioneering journey to the Dutch colony at the turn of the eighteenth century. Her detailed observations show butterflies, moths and other insects together with their host plants, emphasising metamorphosis and ecological relationships. Merian's combination of scientific observation and artistic skill made her one of the most important natural-history illustrators of her age.
