EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the adorable Harvest Mouse, also known as Micromys minutus, which belongs to the Old World. Dating back to 1828, this image is part of William Jardine's Naturalists Library series and was hand-colored for added vibrancy. Measuring between 6 to 7 1/2 cm in length, it holds the distinction of being one of the smallest rodents in existence. The intricate engraving beautifully captures the delicate features of this tiny mammal. Its dainty paws and expressive eyes are a testament to nature's incredible diversity. The Harvest Mouse scurries through fields and meadows with unparalleled agility, using its long tail for balance as it navigates its surroundings. This historic photograph allows us a glimpse into the world of British quadrupeds during a time when natural history exploration was at its peak. It serves as a reminder that even creatures deemed small or insignificant have their own unique place within our ecosystem. As we admire this enchanting image from Edinburgh's library collection, we are reminded of our responsibility to protect and preserve these remarkable species for future generations. Let us celebrate the beauty found within our natural world and continue to learn from these invaluable glimpses into history provided by William MacGillivray's work in capturing such extraordinary moments like this one.
