EDITORS COMMENTS
Fruit Bats in Flight and Repose under a Full Moon, by R.E.H. (circa 1880) This evocative and captivating image, titled "Fruit Bats in Flight and Repose under a Full Moon," is a stunning work of art by the renowned natural history illustrator R.E.H. (Richard Edward Harting), created circa 1880. The print, now available through Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a unique glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when the natural world was still largely unexplored and held a sense of mystery and wonder. The scene depicts a lush, tropical landscape filled with the silhouettes of fruit bats, suspended from the branches of trees as they rest and feed. The full moon, a glowing orb in the night sky, casts an ethereal light over the scene, illuminating the bats and the foliage below. In the foreground, a few bats take flight, their wings spread wide, creating a sense of motion and energy. R.E.H.'s meticulous attention to detail is evident in the intricate rendering of the bats' fur, the textures of the leaves and branches, and the delicate play of light and shadow. The artist's mastery of the medium is further highlighted by the contrast between the dark silhouettes of the bats and the bright moon, which adds depth and dimension to the image. As collectors and enthusiasts of natural history art appreciate, R.E.H.'s work was groundbreaking in its time, and this print is a testament to the artist's dedication to accurately capturing the beauty and complexity of the natural world. This Fruit Bats in Flight and Repose under a Full Moon print is not only a historical document of a bygone era but also a work of art that continues to inspire and captivate viewers today.
