EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured engraving from the 18th century showcases the majestic Indian Flying Fox, also known as the Great Indian Fruit Bat. With its outstretched wings and curled claws, this nocturnal mammal is a sight to behold. The intricate details of its fur, veins, and eyes are beautifully captured in this print. The Great Indian Fruit Bat is native to South East Asia and can be found living in colonies. As a frugivorous creature, it primarily feeds on fruit, making it an essential pollinator for many plant species in its habitat. This artwork belongs to The Stapleton Collection and is part of a private collection. It provides us with a glimpse into the rich biodiversity of India's wildlife during that era. Despite being centuries old, this image continues to fascinate viewers with its accurate depiction of one of nature's fascinating creatures. As we admire this engraving by Bridgeman Images, let us appreciate the beauty and diversity found within our natural world. The Indian Flying Fox serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving these delicate ecosystems for future generations to enjoy.
