EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored copperplate engraving captures the beauty of the Western barbastelle, Barbastella barbastellus, a species that is sadly near threatened. The intricate details in this illustration, created by Johann Sebastian Leitner after an original work by Jacques Buvee l'Ameriquain, showcase the delicate features of this nocturnal creature. Dating back to 1775 and featured in Johann Christian Daniel Schreber's Animal Illustrations after Nature, this piece of art provides a glimpse into the zoological discoveries of the 18th century. The careful shading and coloring bring out the unique characteristics of the barbastelle, from its pointed ears to its furry wings. As we admire this historical depiction of a fascinating animal, it serves as a reminder of the importance of conservation efforts to protect species like the Western barbastelle. Through education and awareness, we can work towards preserving these creatures for future generations to appreciate. This print from Florilegius is not just a beautiful work of art but also a valuable tool for learning about natural history and zoology. Let us continue to marvel at the wonders of nature and strive to protect our planet's diverse wildlife.
