EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite engraving titled "Aardwolf, Arabian pea and louse" created by Adolph Fries in the early 19th century. The artwork is part of a private collection and depicts three fascinating specimens from the natural world. In this handcoloured steel engraving, we can observe the Aardwolf (Proteles cristata), a unique mammal known for its insectivorous diet. It is accompanied by the Arabian pea (Bituminaria bituminosa), a beautiful flowering plant native to North Africa and Southern Europe. Lastly, we see a Psocoptera species commonly referred to as a louse, which adds another layer of intrigue to this composition. The detailed illustration was masterfully executed by du Casse after an original work by Adolph Fries. This particular piece was featured in Felix-Edouard Guerin-Menevilles' renowned Dictionnaire Pittoresque d'Histoire Naturelle (Picturesque Dictionary of Natural History) published in Paris between 1834 and 1839. With its vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail, this engraving exemplifies the scientific methods employed during that era for documenting botanical and zoological discoveries. It serves as both an artistic masterpiece and an invaluable resource for researchers studying wildlife, plants, and insects. This remarkable print offers us a glimpse into the rich history of natural sciences while celebrating French culture's contribution to these fields. Its presence on Fine Art Finder allows art enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate the beauty found within our diverse natural world through centuries-old engravings like this one.
