EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely detailed hand-colored steel engraving depicts the Wood Mouse, Apodemus sylvaticus (previously known as Mus sylvaticus or Field Mouse), a common mammal native to Europe and Asia. The engraving, created by Lizars after an illustration by James Stewart, was published as part of Sir William Jardine's Naturalist's Library in Edinburgh in 1836. The Wood Mouse is a small rodent, typically measuring between 7-9 cm in length, with a bushy tail that is almost as long as its body. Its fur is usually a reddish-brown color with a lighter underbelly, and its ears are large and rounded. The mouse is often found in wooded areas, forests, and gardens, and is an omnivore, feeding on seeds, fruits, nuts, and insects. In this enchanting image, the Wood Mouse is depicted sitting on a mossy log, surrounded by various mushrooms and other forest flora. The intricate details of the mouse's fur, the textured bark of the log, and the delicate shading on the mushrooms all showcase the exceptional artistry of the engraver and illustrator. Sir William Jardine was a Scottish surgeon, naturalist, and zoologist who made significant contributions to the fields of natural history and medicine. His Naturalist's Library was a comprehensive collection of works on natural history, featuring illustrations and descriptions of various plants, animals, and minerals. This beautiful engraving is a testament to the intricate detail and artistry of 19th-century natural history illustrations and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and documenting the natural world.
