EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artwork titled "Marsh rabbits, 19th century C013 / 6269". The image is Plate 18 from volume 1 of the renowned book, "The Viviparous Quadrupeds of North America" authored by esteemed US naturalists John James Audubon and John Bachman. Transporting us back to the year 1845, this historical piece offers a glimpse into the rich fauna of North America during that era. The lithograph beautifully captures two Marsh rabbits (Sylvilagus palustris), their delicate features meticulously illustrated with great attention to detail. These charming mammals, commonly known as hares or rabbits, were native to the United States. The collaboration between Audubon and Bachman in producing this masterpiece highlights their dedication to documenting and understanding the natural world. Their work not only contributed significantly to zoology but also served as an invaluable resource for future generations interested in studying American wildlife. Displayed against a backdrop of lush marshland, these adorable creatures evoke a sense of wonder and curiosity about our biological heritage. This artwork serves as a testament to the importance of preserving our natural history and appreciating the diverse species that once roamed freely across North America. Thanks to Natural History Museum London/Science Photo Library's preservation efforts, we can still admire this exquisite illustration today. It stands as a reminder that art has long played an integral role in advancing scientific knowledge and fostering appreciation for our planet's magnificent biodiversity.
