EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the Groundhog, Marmota monax, also known as the Maryland marmot or woodchuck. The Groundhog is a large, burrowing rodent native to North America, with distinctive brown fur and powerful limbs. This engraving is taken from Edward Griffiths' seminal work, "The Animal Kingdom" by the Baron Cuvier, published in London by Whittaker in 1824. The Natural History and Zoology fields were undergoing a period of rapid advancement during this time, and works such as Cuvier's "Animal Kingdom" were instrumental in documenting and classifying the natural world. This particular engraving not only serves as a beautiful and accurate representation of the Groundhog, but also contributes to the historical record of natural history. The intricate details of the Groundhog's features, such as its sharp claws and pointed snout, are expertly captured in this engraving. The use of hand-coloring adds a vibrant and lifelike quality to the image, making it a valuable addition to any collection of natural history art or scientific literature.
