1. Title: "A Triumph of Nature: A Handcolored Steel Engraving of a Brown Rat, Red Squirrel, and Wood Mouse" This exquisite handcolored steel engraving, created by Annedouche after a drawing by Edouard Travies, is an intriguing glimpse into the natural world of the late 1800s. The engraving, part of the Richards New Edition of the Complete Works of Comte de Buffon published by Pourrat Freres in Paris in 1837, showcases three distinct species: the common brown rat (Rattus norvegicus), the Eurasian red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris), and the wood mouse (Apodemus sylvaticus). The Brown Rat, depicted on the left, is the largest of the three animals. Its sleek, brown fur, long, scaly tail, and pointed snout are all clearly visible. The Red Squirrel, in the center, is easily distinguished by its bushy, red fur and prominent ears. Its alert expression and curled tail add to its charming appeal. The Wood Mouse, on the right, is the smallest of the three, with its light gray fur, round ears, and long, thin tail. The intricate details of this engraving reflect the meticulous craftsmanship of the time, providing a window into the zoological and historical records of the 19th century. The inclusion of these three species in a single image highlights the rich diversity of the natural world and the importance of documenting it for future generations. This print is not only a beautiful work of art but also a testament to the passion and dedication of the naturalists and artists of the past. It serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and appreciating the natural world, while also showcasing the exquisite artistry of the handcolored steel engraving technique.
