EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "Fennec No. 3 Original of illustration in Travels through Abyssinia" by James Bruce, also known as Abyssinian Bruce. The artwork, housed at the Yale Center for British Art and generously gifted by Paul Mellon, offers a glimpse into the fascinating world of African wildlife. The subject of this illustration is the Fennecus zerda, commonly referred to as the Fennec fox. Native to the deserts of northern Africa, Sinai, and Arabian peninsulas, this enchanting creature possesses distinctive features that make it truly unique. Its most striking characteristic is its oversized ears which serve both aesthetic and practical purposes – aiding in thermoregulation and enhancing hearing capabilities. Rendered with watercolor and ink on paper, Bruce's attention to detail brings out every aspect of this remarkable animal. From its black-tipped tail to its delicate whiskers, every element is meticulously captured in this zoological masterpiece. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported to vast desert landscapes where these big-eared canids roam freely. Their presence reminds us of nature's diversity and resilience even in harsh environments. This print serves as a testament not only to Bruce's artistic prowess but also to his exploration and documentation of unknown territories during his travels through Abyssinia. It invites us to appreciate the beauty found within our natural world while igniting a sense of wonder about creatures that often go unnoticed.
