EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "St. Kilda Mice, 1899" takes us back to the remote islands of the St Kilda archipelago in northwest Scotland. Captured by P. J. Smit and published in "The Proceedings of the Zoological Society" in 1899, this image showcases a type of mouse found exclusively on these isolated islands. The St Kilda mice, also known as Apodemus sylvaticus ssp hirtensis or St Kilda field mice, were a unique species that thrived within this distinct habitat. This lithograph was later featured in "Wildlife of Britain" authored by F. Fraser Darling and published by Collins London in 1943. As we delve into British natural history through this photograph, we are reminded of the rich biodiversity that once existed on these enchanting islands during the late 19th century. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring these little rodents to life, allowing us to appreciate their beauty even though they have now become extinct. This print not only serves as a testament to the scientific exploration conducted during that era but also offers a glimpse into social history through its inclusion in William Collins' renowned publication series "Britain in Pictures". It is an invaluable piece for those interested in wildlife studies, zoology enthusiasts or anyone seeking to connect with England's past through its fascinating fauna.
