EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, created by the renowned English naturalist and illustrator, Thomas Bewick, dates back to 1790. The image showcases the Souslik, or Suslik, a small rodent that Bewick classified as a mouse, although he also referred to it as a Sisel. This intriguing creature is indigenous to the banks of the Volga River in Russia and is now known scientifically as Mus citellus. Bewick's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the lifelike representation of the Souslik's sleek fur, expressive eyes, and delicate features. The historical context of this print adds to its allure, as it offers a glimpse into the natural world of the past. The Souslik, a member of the Cricetidae family, is a semi-aquatic rodent that is well adapted to its wetland habitat. It is an agile swimmer and burrows in the riverbanks, creating complex tunnel systems that provide shelter and protection. Bewick's illustration of the Souslik is a testament to his remarkable ability to capture the essence of the natural world and preserve it for future generations. This print not only serves as a beautiful work of art but also as an important historical record of a fascinating creature that continues to inhabit the banks of the Volga River in Russia and can also be found in Austria. The rich history of this print is further emphasized by its origin from Mary Evans Picture Library, a leading provider of historical and cultural images, making it an essential addition to any collection of natural history or historical prints.
