EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Damselflies, dragonflies and water snails" takes us back to the enchanting world of nature in the 1930s. Created by Vere Temple and featured in E. G. Boulenger's book "British Anglers Natural History" this image showcases the intricate beauty of these fascinating creatures. In the foreground, we see a Coenagrion puella damselfly emerging from its nymph-case, symbolizing metamorphosis and new beginnings. Its delicate wings glisten with vibrant colors as it prepares to take flight into adulthood. Nearby, an Aeschna cyanea dragonfly stands majestically alongside its larvae, representing strength and resilience. The presence of water snails adds another layer of intrigue to this composition. These small mollusks remind us of the interconnectedness of life within pond ecosystems. The calm waters reflect a serene backdrop for these remarkable organisms' life cycles. Vere Temple's skillful capture transports us to a bygone era when scientific exploration was at its peak. This photograph not only serves as a visual feast for our eyes but also offers valuable insights into England's natural history during the mid-20th century. As we admire this print today, let us appreciate both the artistic merit and scientific significance it holds—a testament to Vere Temple's talent as well as Edward George Boulenger's dedication to documenting Britain's rich biodiversity through his renowned publication series.
