EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving from the 19th century showcases the delicate beauty of the Common Pipistrelle bat. Created by an unknown French artist, this print is a part of a comprehensive natural history dictionary published between 1833 and 1839 by Felix Edouard Guerin-Meneville. The intricate details captured in this artwork bring to life the elusive nature of these fascinating creatures. The Common Pipistrelle, scientifically known as Pipistrellus pipistrellus, is depicted with its distinct yellow-billed oxpecker companion perched on its back. This symbiotic relationship between the two species adds another layer of intrigue to this enchanting illustration. The artist's skillful use of colour and precision in depicting every feather and fur strand makes this engraving truly remarkable. It serves as a testament to both artistic talent and scientific observation prevalent during that era. Now preserved in a private collection, this print offers us a glimpse into the world of bats through the lens of 19th-century artistry. Its inclusion in A Dictionnaire pittoresque d'histoire naturelle et des phénomènes de la natureA further solidifies its significance within scientific literature. As we admire this piece today, we are reminded not only of our ever-evolving understanding of wildlife but also how art can serve as an invaluable tool for education and appreciation for our natural world.
