EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely detailed hand-colored steel engraving showcases the enchanting beauty of an Ermine, Mustela erminea, in its summer coat. The image, created by the skilled hands of Lizars after an illustration by James Stewart, is a captivating masterpiece from Sir William Jardine's Naturalists Library in Edinburgh, published in 1836. The Ermine, also known as the stoat or short-tailed weasel, is a small mammal native to the Northern Hemisphere. Known for its distinctive white winter fur, this creature transforms into a striking contrast during the summer months, as seen in this print. The summer coat of the Ermine is a rich, golden-brown, providing excellent camouflage among the foliage. The intricate details of the Ermine's features are brought to life through the meticulous process of hand-coloring. The engraving technique, combined with the vibrant colors, highlights every minute detail, from the delicate hairs on its coat to the expressive features of its face. This print is an essential addition to any collection of zoological illustrations, providing a window into the natural world and showcasing the beauty and diversity of the animal kingdom. The Ermine in summer coat is a testament to the artistry and scientific curiosity of the past, offering a glimpse into the natural history of this fascinating creature.
