Short Description

Original copper engraved and hand coloured this engraving of the Scarlet Mite (Autumnal Acarus) was published on 1st September 1790 by Shaw & Nodder. The rather scary little guy likes apples and pears and in real life is rather tiny.

George Shaw was in charge of the Natural History Department at the British Museum. Nodder was a natural history artist and worked for Banks on his Florilegium.

Very good condition with a great plate impression ...23cm by 14cm ... framed nicely with external frame dimensions 29cm by c6cm .... a good one for the eclectic study.

Price $90.00 unframed or $220.00 framed in Voyager Natural History style ..

Unusual engraving from 1790 of the aptly named Scarlet Mite
