EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcolored copperplate stipple engraving is taken from Frederic Cuvier's "Dictionary of Natural Science: Mammals," published in Paris, France, in 1816. The illustration was created by Jean Gabriel Pretre, a painter of natural history at Empress Josephine's zoo, and later became the artist to the Museum of Natural History. The engraving was executed by Madame Rebel, under the direction of Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin, and published by F.G. Levrault. The image features two mammals: the Capybara (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris) and the Common Vole (Microtus arvalis). The Capybara, also known as the water hog, is the largest rodent in the world, native to Central and South America. It is semi-aquatic and can be found in wetlands and grasslands. The Capybara is depicted in the image with its distinctive webbed feet and rounded ears, resting on the banks of a body of water. The Common Vole, on the other hand, is a small rodent found throughout Europe, Asia, and North America. It is an important food source for many predators and plays a significant role in shaping ecosystems through its burrowing activities. The Common Vole in the engraving is shown in a more typical posture for a rodent, with its small ears and short snout. The intricate detail and lifelike quality of the engraving are a testament to the skill and artistry of the artists and engravers involved in its creation. The use of handcoloring adds an additional layer of depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a valuable historical record of these two fascinating mammals.
