Eleanor D. Wilson Museum Exhibition
Maria Sibylla Merian (Dutch, b. Germany, 1647-1717) led a fascinating life of travel and
scientific pursuits, making important contributions to botany, entomology, and what we
now call the field of ecology. By the time she was 32, she had published The Wondrous
Transformation of Caterpillars. At age 52, she traveled to the northwest coast of South
America, to Surinam, then a Dutch colony, where she spent two years observing, collecting,
recording, and documenting plants and the life cycles of the exotic insects of that country.
The result was Metamorphosis insectorium Surinamensium, a lavish folio edition featuring 60
beautifully hand-colored copperplate engravings. This exhibition presents 10 of her works,
all of which have been loaned by Arader Galleries, New York and Philadelphia.
