Between 1699-1701, Maria Sibylla Merian travelled to the Dutch colony of Suriname in South America to study the area's unique flora and fauna. Many of the drawings and painting she produced on this trip were published in her "Metamorphosis of the Insects of Suriname" (1705). This volume reproduces details of sixteen plates from that volume.
