EDITORS COMMENTS
White-Ear the Fox at Night with His Prey, 1912 This illustration, created in 1912, depicts a mature and relaxed white-eared fox (Vulpes rufoatra) in the stillness of the night, proudly holding a dead cockerel (Gallus gallus domesticus) in his jaws. The fox's piercing, amber eyes gleam in the darkness, while his bushy tail curls around him, providing a sense of comfort and security. The scene is set against a backdrop of a rubbish heap, with broken plates and other discarded items scattered around, adding to the sense of history and the passage of time. The illustration is taken from the pages of an old book, likely a natural history or wildlife publication, and was created by the renowned illustrator, Cecil Aldin (1870-1935). White-eared foxes are native to the grasslands and deserts of North and South America, and are known for their distinctive white ear tufts, which help them to blend in with the snow during the winter months. They are opportunistic hunters, feeding on a variety of prey, including rodents, birds, and reptiles. This illustration not only showcases the beauty and grace of the white-eared fox, but also highlights the important role that illustrations played in the documentation and appreciation of the natural world during the early 20th century. The attention to detail and the artist's ability to capture the essence of the moment make this a truly timeless piece.
