EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored engraving on steel depicts a Fennec fox, Vulpes zerda, a small nocturnal mammal native to the desert regions of North Africa. The engraving is taken from a drawing by Colonel Charles Hamilton Smith, and was published as part of Sir William Jardine's Naturalist's Library: Dogs, published by W.H. Lizars in Edinburgh in 1839. The Fennec fox is easily recognizable by its distinctive large ears, which can measure up to 6 inches long and are used to dissipate heat and to detect prey. Their ears are also excellent for amplifying sound, allowing them to hear prey moving in the sand. The fennec fox is the smallest fox species, with adults typically weighing between 1.5 to 3.5 pounds. The Fennec fox is well adapted to living in the desert, with the ability to go long periods without water and to regulate its body temperature through its large ears and metabolic rate. They are omnivores, feeding on a variety of plants, fruits, rodents, birds, reptiles, and insects. This engraving is a beautiful example of the intricate detail and artistry of 19th century natural history illustration. The Fennec fox was a popular subject for collectors and naturalists of the time, and this print would have been a prized addition to any natural history collection. Today, the Fennec fox remains an iconic and beloved species, and this print serves as a reminder of the rich history of natural history exploration and documentation.
