EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of Edward Adrian Wilson, a renowned artist from the late 19th to early 20th century. Titled "Long-tailed field mouse" this plate is part of a remarkable collection featuring pencil sketches and watercolour drawings of British mammals, created between 1890 and 1910. The image depicts a charming Long-tailed field mouse (Apodemus sylvaticus), meticulously illustrated with great attention to detail. Wilson's talent shines through as he captures the essence of this small nocturnal rodent, showcasing its delicate features and unique characteristics. As we delve into the world of Victorian zoology, this artwork serves as both an educational tool and a testament to Wilson's passion for wildlife. The intricate sketching technique combined with vibrant watercolours brings life to this piece, making it an invaluable resource for studying mammalian fauna. With each stroke of his pencil, Wilson not only immortalizes these creatures but also provides us with valuable scientific insights. This particular illustration offers glimpses into the biological aspects of Apodemus sylvaticus – its classification within Rodentia and Muridae families, its habitat preferences in woodlands or fields, and even notes on its behavior. Preserved by the Natural History Museum in London, this extraordinary artwork stands as a testament to Dr. Edward Adrian Wilson's dedication to capturing nature's beauty through artistry while contributing significantly to our understanding of British wildlife during that era.
