EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting print depicts a Common Hedgehog (Erinaceus europaeus, also known as the Bewick Hedgehog or Urchin), a beloved and historically significant creature of the European woodlands. The hedgehog's distinctive quills, which cover its entire body for protection, are clearly visible in this image. However, despite their charming appearance and historical significance, hedgehogs continue to face a modern threat - the peril of motorways and roads. The Common Hedgehog has been a part of European folklore and history for centuries. In ancient Greece, hedgehogs were believed to be the embodiment of the goddess Aphrodite, while in medieval Europe, they were considered a symbol of Christ's passion due to their ability to roll into a ball when threatened. Today, hedgehogs are cherished by many for their unique appearance and gentle demeanor. Sadly, the common hedgehog population has been declining in recent decades, with road traffic being a major contributor to their mortality. According to studies, hedgehogs are among the most frequently killed animals on roads in Europe. The print serves as a poignant reminder of the delicate balance between human progress and the natural world, and the importance of coexisting harmoniously with wildlife. This beautiful print, from the Mary Evans Picture Library, dates back to 1790, making it an invaluable historical record of the Common Hedgehog. It is a testament to the enduring appeal of this beloved creature and the rich natural heritage it represents.
