EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcolored copperplate stipple engraving is a beautiful representation of two intriguing mammals from the early 19th century: the Lesser Egyptian jerboa (Jaculus jaculus) and the Meadow jumping mouse (Zapus hudsonius). The illustration is taken from Frederic Cuvier's "Dictionary of Natural Science: Mammals," published in Paris, France, in 1816. The Lesser Egyptian jerboa, also known as the sand jerboa, is a small nocturnal rodent native to the deserts of North Africa and the Middle East. Known for their long hind legs and long, bushy tails, jerboas are excellent jumpers, able to cover great distances in a single leap. They are well adapted to their arid environment, with large ears that help them regulate body temperature and long, fur-covered feet that provide traction in the sand. The Meadow jumping mouse, on the other hand, is a small rodent native to North America. Unlike the jerboa, meadow jumping mice are not true jerboas, but are named for their ability to jump long distances using their powerful hind legs. They are found in meadows, grasslands, and forests, and are omnivorous, feeding on a variety of vegetation and small invertebrates. This exquisite illustration was created by Jean Gabriel Pretre, a painter of natural history at Empress Josephine's zoo, and later became the artist to the Museum of Natural History in Paris. The engraving was executed by Massard, under the direction of Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin, and published by F.G. Levrault. The intricate stipple engraving technique used in this print allowed for great detail and depth, making it a valuable addition to any collection of natural history art.
