Descrição: The industry was launched with a 1997 exhibit and exhibition volume produced by the Historisches Museum of Frankfurt am Main (Merian's home town) in celebration of the 350th anniversary of her birth. Looking at this production four centuries later, Reitsma wonders how one woman could have found and reared hundreds of caterpillars, described their behavior, drawn them in different stages of life, printed those drawings, published them, carried on a business in specimens (dried and preserved in alcohol), colored books and prints, written letters to collectors, marketed her work not only at home but also abroad, and dealt with the legal aspects associated with running a business.
