EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 2: A Hair-Breadth Escape - This engraving, taken from The Life and Habits of Wild Animals, published in London in 1874, depicts a thrilling moment in the natural world. The image, illustrated by the renowned natural history artist Joseph Wolf, captures the tense interaction between a fox (Vulpes vulpes), a member of the Canidae family, and a bird of prey, likely a Lagomorpha or Leporidae species. The fox, with its alert ears and focused gaze, seems poised to make a quick escape from the beak of the avian predator. The canine's agility and cunning are on full display as it navigates the rugged terrain, narrowly avoiding the deadly grasp of its avian adversary. The nineteenth century was a time of great fascination with the natural world, and works like The Life and Habits of Wild Animals helped to fuel this curiosity. Wolf's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the essence of these animals in their natural habitats made his illustrations a staple of natural history publications during this era. This plate, in particular, showcases the dynamic interplay between two distinct groups of Eutheria - the Mammalia (mammals) and the Aves (birds) - highlighting the intricate balance of the natural world and the incredible adaptations that allow these animals to survive in their respective environments. The daytime scene is reminiscent of the carnivora (meat-eating mammals) and caniformia (dog-like mammals) that roamed the European countryside during the 19th century. The fox, a common and versatile species, is a member of the Canidae family, while the bird of prey represents the avian world's apex predators. This plate serves as a testament to the beauty and complexity of the natural world, offering a glimpse into the lives of these animals and the intricate relationships that exist between them.
