EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite watercolor and pencil sketch depicts the Orkney Vole, Microtus arvalis orcadensis, a rare subspecies of the Common Vole native to the Orkney Islands off the northeastern coast of Scotland. The illustration is part of a collection of over 1,000 mammal drawings created by Dr. Edward Adrian Wilson between 1890 and 1910. Dr. Wilson, a British naturalist and medical doctor, meticulously documented the natural history of Britain's mammalian fauna during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The Orkney Vole, a member of the Eutheria order and the Arvicolinae family, is a small rodent with a distinctively short, round body and a bushy tail. This subspecies is adapted to its unique habitat, which includes the sandy beaches, dunes, and grasslands of the Orkney Islands. Unlike many voles, the Orkney Vole is active during the day, making it an intriguing exception to the nocturnal behavior typical of its relatives. Dr. Wilson's illustration captures the Orkney Vole's delicate features and subtle coloring, with its fur appearing a soft, warm brown on its back and a lighter, almost white underbelly. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the intricate rendering of the vole's ears, which are finely textured and delicately shaded. The drawing also showcases the vole's small, rounded ears and its dark, beady eyes, which give it an alert and inquisitive expression. This beautiful illustration offers a glimpse into the natural history of the Orkney Islands and the meticulous work of Dr. Edward Adrian Wilson, whose comprehensive collection of mammal drawings remains an invaluable resource for researchers and enthusiasts alike.
