EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite watercolour and pencil sketch of Lepus timidus, the Arctic Hare, is taken from the collection of Dr. Edward Adrian Wilson's (1872-1912) illustrations of British mammals created between 1890 and 1910. Dr. Wilson, a renowned naturalist and polar explorer, meticulously captured the intricate details of this Arctic dweller, highlighting its thick, camouflaging coat that blends seamlessly into the alpine landscape. The Arctic Hare, also known as the Blue Hare due to its coat's bluish tint in winter, is a master of adaptation, changing its colouring to blend in with its snowy habitat. This agile and elusive creature is a member of the Eutheria order, which includes mammals that give live birth. The Arctic Hare is a daytime animal, spending most of its active hours during the daytime when the sun is above the horizon. This drawing captures the hare in its natural habitat, surrounded by the rugged, icy terrain of the Arctic region. Dr. Wilson's illustrations showcase his exceptional talent for capturing the essence of the animals he studied, providing a glimpse into the natural history of the British Isles during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This beautiful artwork is a testament to Dr. Wilson's dedication to documenting the natural world and his artistic skill in bringing these creatures to life through his illustrations.
