EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 17 of 'The Life and Habits of Wild Animals,' published in London in 1874, captures the intriguing moment of 'The Shadow Dance' between a Fox (Vulpes vulpes) and a Rabbit (Lepus europaeus). This stunning illustration, created by the renowned natural history artist Joseph Wolf (1820-1899), showcases the agility and stealth of the true fox as it blends into the countryside, ready to pounce on its unsuspecting prey. The 19th century image portrays the Fox in its natural habitat, outside the confines of a box or enclosure. The epithets Caniformia, Canidae, Caninae, Carnivora, Eutheria, Placental Mammal, and Theria are all applicable to both the Fox and Rabbit, as they belong to the same class (Mammalia) and order (Lagomorpha and Canidae, respectively). The Fox, a carnivorous predator, is shown in its daytime hunting mode, while the Rabbit, a herbivorous lagomorph, is engrossed in its daytime activities. The Shadow Dance is a testament to the delicate balance of nature, where the hunter and the hare share the same countryside, each living in their unique ways. The intricate details of the illustration, from the individual hairs on the Fox's coat to the subtle shading that creates the illusion of shadow, highlight Joseph Wolf's exceptional artistic skills. The Victorian era, with its fascination for wildlife and natural history, is brought to life through this image. As we observe this timeless moment, we are reminded of the rich history of wildlife and the intricate relationships that exist between various species. The Shadow Dance is a reminder of the beauty and complexity of nature, frozen in time by the skilled hand of Joseph Wolf.
