Framed Print of Engraving of Emperor Justinian Receiving Eggs of Silkworm by Joannes Galle after Johannes Stradanus

(Original Caption). Silk, or silkworm from the Indo-Chinese city of Serinda, Justinian receives the eggs of the silkworm which spins the golden threads. Although the silkworm was described by Aristotle and silk was imported by the Greeks and Romans, it remained for two Persian monks who resided in China to smuggle some eggs of silkworms in a bamboo cane and to present them to Emperor Justinian in Constantinople in about the year 550. In the background, women tend the silk moth, cultivating the mulberry trees on the leaves of which the moth thrives, and reeling the silk cocoons upon frames. Unleash your creativity with premium art prints that turn any room into a visual masterpiece.
