EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is a beautiful representation of Clethrionomys glareolus, commonly known as the bank vole, taken from a collection of pencil sketches and watercolour drawings of British mammals created between 1890 and 1910 by the renowned naturalist and illustrator, Dr Edward Adrian Wilson (1872-1912). The meticulously detailed illustration showcases the delicate features of this small mammal, which is a member of the Eutheria order, specifically the Arvicolinae family, and falls under the suborder Myomorpha, order Mammalia, and class Mammalia. The bank vole, also known as the water vole or the common vole, is native to Europe and Asia. It is distinguished by its round body, short legs, and a bushy tail. The species is well adapted to living in and near water, with webbed hind feet and a propensity for swimming. The bank vole's fur is typically brownish-gray on the back and lighter on the belly. Dr Wilson's illustration captures the essence of the bank vole's natural habitat, with the animal depicted in a forested setting. The intricate details of the foliage, the texture of the fur, and the expressive eyes of the vole all contribute to the overall charm and accuracy of the artwork. Dr Wilson's work was groundbreaking for its time and remains an invaluable resource for understanding the natural history of British mammals. His illustrations continue to inspire and captivate audiences, providing a window into the natural world of the past.
