At the young age of thirteen, Maria Sibylla Merian had already begun her systematic entomological research with a study of the silk worm, a description of which opens her second book, entitled Der Raupen wunderbare Verwandlung ... (The Caterpillar's Wondrous Metamorphosis ...). Motivated by reports on the flora and fauna of Surinam published by missionaries of the pietistic Labadist church, which she joined in 1685, she undertook a perilous journey to the tropics. Following her return home, she had her insect studies - life-sized drawings of insects on parchment - engraved in copper, adding descriptions of each species and its habitat. Four editions of these large-format engravings were published between 1719 and 1771. The epochal accomplishment of the painter, engraver and naturalist Maria Sibylla Merian is to be found in the artistic perfection of her presentation of the results of meticulous entomological research, decades before the appearance of Linné's Systema Naturae in 1735. Following the seminal studies by Elisabeth Rücker, this publication is the first comprehensive monograph on the work of Maria Sibylla Merian. It focuses not only on her artistic and scientific achievements but on her role as a publisher and entrepreneur as well. New material on the life and work of this extraordinary artist is provided in the form of unpublished letters and 40 previously unpublished water-colors from her St. Petersburg sketchbook. (German edition available ISBN 3-7757-1226- 7) The artist: Maria Sibylla Merian (Frankfurt a.M., 1647; Amsterdam, 1717). Daughter of the publisher Matthäus Merian. Trained in art by her stepfather, the still-life painter Jakob Marrel. First series of copper engravings of flower motifs as a book of models in 1675; Volume I of Der Raupen wunderbare Verwandlung und sonderbare Blumennahrung (The Caterpillar's Wondrous Metamorphosis and Strange Flower Nourishment); journey to Surinam (Dutch Guyana) in 1679; first edition of Metamorphosis Insectorum Surinamensium published in 1705.Shipping Notes

Too narrow at the toe. I have narrow feet, but I could feel my toes being squished as soon as I stood up in these.. Bummer.

A chique set of sunglasses for any trendy woman
Color: Black/Dark Grey, Lens Width: 53 Millimeters, Color: Black/Dark Grey, Lens Width: 53 Millimeters
I love these pair of sunglasses! I’ve never been really able to wear them before lasek. But it’s important to now and the glasses are a true 100% UV blocking. Packaging is really nice done and the green case complements the emerald piece in the glasses themselves. It came with a cleaning cloth which is nice to keep in your purse.
The sunglasses have a dark tint. These pair frame my face nicely and I have a rounder face. It’s not uncomfortable on the nose bridge and the frame is quite durable. It’s lightweight and there’s no pressure on the ears. They are well made and are perfect to dress up an outfit. I prefer simple frames with a special touch and the green emerald piece take these up a notch . So excited for summer!

Wow! Quality glasses with a beautiful design.
Color: Black/Dark Grey, Lens Width: 53 Millimeters
It seems like you're frequently given the option between fashion or quality in the sunglass marketplace. A lot of the fashion eyewear simply falls short on lens quality, durability, or comfort. These glasses have it all. The lens are fantastic and clear, the quality of the frame is very high end, and the comfort of wearing is incredible.
Then there is the fashion aspect. These are true swarovski crystals and are every bit as gorgeous as you would expect from the name.
I'm thrilled with these sunglasses!
