EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite detail and naturalistic representation of the Long-tailed Squirrel, scientifically known as Sciurus macrourus, as depicted in a drawing from the Banks Manuscript No. 20, created by the renowned Scottish artist Sydney Parkinson in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) in 1767. The agile and graceful squirrel, native to Asia, is a member of the Eutheria and Placental Mammals, and is commonly referred to as the Oriental Giant Squirrel. Parkinson's illustration, which is part of the extensive collection housed at the Natural History Museum in London, captures the squirrel's striking features, including its long, bushy tail, sharp claws, and thick, luxurious fur. The intricate details of the fur texture, the veins on the ears, and the delicate shading on the body are all masterfully rendered, providing a vivid and lifelike portrayal of this fascinating creature. The print is attributed to Pieter Cornelis de Bevere, also known as Pieter C. de Hooch, who was a prominent Dutch engraver and printmaker active during the 18th century. De Bevere's skillful engraving technique brings Parkinson's original drawing to life, preserving the essence of the original artwork for future generations. The Long-tailed Squirrel is an essential component of the rich biodiversity of the Asian continent, and its inclusion in the Banks Manuscript is a testament to the importance of natural history exploration and documentation during the Age of Discovery. This beautiful and intricately detailed print serves as a reminder of the natural wonders that continue to inspire and captivate us, and the critical role that art and science play in understanding and preserving our natural world.
