1805 C1805 Common Hare Hares Howitt Lying Straw
EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite print, titled "Hare, Howitt, C1805," is a beautiful representation of a common hare (Lepus europaeus) lying peacefully on a bed of straw. The image, created in 1809, showcases the hare's delicate features and graceful form, with its long ears twitching slightly and its alert, expressive eyes gazing off into the distance. The artist's skillful use of shading and detail brings the hare to life, making it seem as if it could leap up and bound away at any moment. The common hare is a widespread species found throughout Europe, North America, and parts of Asia. They are known for their large ears, powerful hind legs, and agility, which enable them to outrun predators and navigate complex environments. Hares are also important prey animals, providing food for a variety of predators, including foxes, wolves, and eagles. This print, which is part of the Mary Evans Prints Online collection, offers a glimpse into the natural world of over 200 years ago. It is a reminder of the beauty and diversity of the animal kingdom, and the enduring appeal of observing and documenting the natural world. The print's timeless quality and the hare's peaceful pose make it a cherished addition to any collection of natural history or animal prints.
