EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite print showcases the detailed etching of a Raccoon and Coati Roux, also known as the common raccoon and South American coati. Created by Jean Gabriel Pretre in the early 19th century for the dictionary of natural sciences: mammals by Frederic Cuvier, this engraving is a testament to the scientific knowledge and artistic skill of its time.
The intricate lines and shading bring these two fascinating mammals to life on paper, capturing their distinctive features with precision. The Raccoon's masked face and ringed tail are depicted with accuracy, while the Coati Roux's long snout and bushy tail are beautifully rendered.
Published in Paris in 1816 by F.G. Levrault, this print is not just a work of art but also a valuable resource for those interested in zoology and natural history. It serves as a reminder of the importance of studying and documenting animal species for future generations.
As we admire this piece from the 19th century, we are transported back in time to an era when scientific exploration was at its peak. Through engravings like this one, we can appreciate both the beauty of nature and the dedication of early scientists who sought to understand it better.
