EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Yapok, 1863-79" transports us back to the late 19th century when zoology was a burgeoning field of study. The image, a colour lithograph created by Raimundo Petraroja, showcases the mesmerizing beauty of the yapok, also known as the water opossum. The yapok is depicted in intricate detail, its sleek fur glistening with droplets of water as it gracefully glides through its aquatic habitat. This illustration was part of "A Atlante zoologico popolare" a popular zoological atlas compiled by Giovanni Boschi and published between 1863 and 1879. Petraroja's skillful rendering brings this elusive creature to life on paper, capturing both its physical features and unique behaviors. The yapok belongs to the marsupial family and is renowned for its ability to swim effortlessly underwater using webbed hind feet. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork from our private collection, we are reminded of the importance of preserving nature's wonders. Through images like these, we gain insight into species that may be unfamiliar or endangered today. Let this awe-inspiring lithograph serve as a reminder that our planet is home to countless extraordinary creatures deserving of our admiration and protection.
