EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "Chimaera" is a remarkable piece of art from the 19th century. Created by an unknown French artist and part of a private collection, this print showcases the intricate details and skillful craftsmanship that went into its creation. The image is taken from "A Dictionnaire pittoresque d'histoire naturelle et des phénomènes de la nature" a publication by Felix Edouard Guerin-Meneville between 1833 and 1839. It features various elements of nature, including animals, fishes, and mammals. In the forefront of the engraving stands a majestic Chimaera callorynchus, also known as a chinchilla. The creature's mythical appearance with its lion-like head, goat-like body, and serpent-like tail captivates viewers with its enchanting presence. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of their hand. From the texture of the chinchilla's fur to the scales on its tail, every aspect has been meticulously rendered to create a lifelike representation. This print not only serves as an exquisite example of artistic talent but also offers us insight into how our ancestors perceived these creatures centuries ago. It reminds us of our fascination with both real and imagined beings throughout history. Preserved through time thanks to ePurix Verlag Volker Christen and Bridgeman Images' efforts in digitizing it for wider appreciation today; this artwork continues to inspire
