EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Serotine Bat, Eptesicus serotinus serotinus: A 18th Century Zoological Illustration This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving depicts the Serotine Bat, scientifically known as Eptesicus serotinus serotinus. The illustration was created by the skilled hands of Jacques de Seve, with the engraving executed by Jakob Andreas Eisenmann. This masterpiece was published as part of Johann Christian Daniel Schreber's groundbreaking work, "Animal Illustrations after Nature," or "Schreber's Fantastic Animals," published in Erlangen, Germany, in 1775. The Serotine Bat, also known as the Serotine or Whiskered Bat, is a small, agile mammal belonging to the Vespertilionidae family. With its wings spread wide, this nocturnal creature is shown in mid-flight, its delicate membranes forming a seamless transition between its body and outstretched limbs. The Serotine Bat's fur is a rich, dark brown, with lighter underparts and a noticeable white patch on its chest. Its face is characterized by a distinct white patch on its forehead and a pair of prominent whiskers, giving it an endearing and somewhat inquisitive appearance. This intricately detailed illustration is a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship and scientific accuracy of the 18th century. It provides a fascinating glimpse into the natural world of the past, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and diversity of the animal kingdom as it was understood during this era. The Serotine Bat remains an important species within its ecosystem, and this illustration serves as a reminder of the vital role that historical records play in documenting and preserving the natural world for future generations.
