EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Natterer's bat (Myotis nattereri), a fascinating mammal known for its unique wing structure and striking coloration. The image, captured in 1828 by an unknown creator and featured in William MacGillivray's British Quadrupeds volume, is a testament to the scientific exploration of the natural world during the 19th century. The Natterer's bat, with its intricate wings spread wide, exemplifies both the beauty and complexity of nature. Its delicate membrane-like wings allow it to gracefully navigate through the air as it hunts for insects at dusk. This remarkable creature serves as a reminder of how diverse and extraordinary our planet's wildlife can be. William MacGillivray, renowned for his contributions to natural history, meticulously documented this species' appearance and behavior through detailed engravings like this one. His work not only provided valuable insights into biology but also helped foster a deeper appreciation for these often misunderstood creatures. As we admire this enchanting print from Oxford Science Archive's collection, we are transported back in time to witness the meticulous craftsmanship that went into capturing such intricate details on paper. This image serves as a window into both scientific discovery and artistic expression within the realm of natural history. Whether you're drawn to its vibrant colors or intrigued by its flying abilities, this Natterer’s bat print offers us an opportunity to marvel at nature’s wonders while honoring those who dedicated their lives to understanding them.
