EDITORS COMMENTS
The Hedgehog, 1761-1766 (hand-coloured etching) captures the intricate beauty and fierce nature of this creature. Created by Peter Paillou and hand-tinted by an unknown artist, this print is a stunning example of late eighteenth-century biology illustrations. Taken from Thomas Pennant's renowned work, The British Zoology, this image showcases the hedgehog in all its glory. With its spiky quills raised in defense, the hedgehog appears both protective and menacing at the same time. The hand coloring adds depth to every detail, bringing out the texture of its fur and highlighting its unique markings. This close-up view allows us to appreciate the intricacies of the hedgehog's features - from its sharp snout to its small beady eyes. Its defensive posture reminds us of their natural instinct to protect themselves when threatened. As we delve into this piece, we are transported back to a time when scientific exploration was flourishing. This hand-colored etching serves as a testament to both artistic skill and scientific observation during the European Enlightenment period. Whether you are an animal lover or simply appreciate fine art, "The Hedgehog" print is sure to captivate your imagination with its exquisite details and historical significance.
