1790 Bewick Common Cristatus Lives Mole Moles Smaller Sorex Radiated
EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking print captures the unique and lesser-known Radiated Mole, also known as the Bewick's Mole. This small creature, a resident of North America, is often overshadowed by its more common relative, the Common Mole. However, despite its diminutive size, the Radiated Mole boasts a fascinating history.
Dating back to 1790, this particular species of mole has long been admired for its distinctive fur. Tragically, this luxurious coat has led to the exploitation of these creatures for centuries - their pelts being used in the creation of fashionable hats.
The image showcases the intricate details of this elusive mammal - from its velvety soft fur to its delicate features. The photographer has expertly captured the essence of this creature that spends most of its life underground.
As we admire this photograph from Mary Evans Picture Library, let us not forget the historical significance behind it. The story of the Radiated Mole serves as a reminder of our complex relationship with nature and how even seemingly insignificant animals play a role in shaping our world. Let us appreciate these creatures for their beauty and uniqueness rather than exploiting them for commercial gain.
