EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the charm and beauty of the red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris), a native species to Britain that was once widely prevalent in our forests and woodlands. The red squirrel, with its distinctive red fur and bushy tail, was a common sight for generations before the arrival of its grey cousin from America, the Eastern Grey Squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis), in the late 1800s. The red squirrel's history in Britain stretches back to at least the 17th century, with records of their presence dating back to the time of the naturalist John Ray in 1673. However, the arrival of the grey squirrel, which outcompetes the red squirrel for food and territory, led to a rapid decline in red squirrel populations. By the mid-20th century, red squirrels had been largely displaced from much of their former range. This print, produced by Mary Evans Picture Library from their extensive archive, dates back to 1790 and offers a glimpse into a time when red squirrels were a common sight in Britain. The image captures the agile and alert nature of the red squirrel, as it perches on a tree branch, ready to scamper off at a moment's notice. The intricate detail and fine shading in the print bring the red squirrel's vibrant red fur and expressive eyes to life, making it a beautiful and nostalgic reminder of a time when these charming creatures were a more familiar sight in our countryside. Today, efforts are being made to protect and increase the population of red squirrels in Britain, with conservation projects and reintroduction programs underway in various parts of the country. This print serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving our natural heritage and the unique species that call our islands home.
