EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print showcases the majestic beauty of the spectral bat, also known as Vampyrum spectrum or the great false vampire bat. Published in 1882 as part of "The Universe or, The Infinitely Great and the Infinitely Little" this engraving takes us back to a time when scientific exploration was at its peak. With intricate details and stunning precision, this illustration brings to life the winged wonder that is Vampyrum spectrum. As one of the largest bats in existence, it commands attention with its impressive size and unique leaf-nosed appearance. Its carnivorous nature adds an air of mystery to this already fascinating creature. Transporting us to a bygone era, this historical artwork reminds us of our enduring fascination with wildlife and biology. It serves as a reminder that even in the 19th century, scientists were captivated by these creatures' intricacies and sought to document their existence for future generations. As we admire this remarkable piece from Ken Welsh's collection, let us appreciate both its artistic value and scientific significance. This near-threatened species continues to inspire awe today just as it did over a century ago when this engraving was first published.
