Comments - Handsome print from a series depicting the stages involved in sericulture, the ancient art of producing silk. Here, a beauty uses a feather to transfer eggs from a sheet of paper. A rack of trays at upper left holds trays of silkworms covered with mulberry leaves, their only food. An interesting subject, nicely detailed.
