EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, dating back to 1790, showcases two intriguing creatures of the natural world: a Chevrotain (Bewick's Chevrotain to be precise) and a Meminna, both beautifully rendered by the skilled hand of naturalist and artist Thomas Bewick. Bewick, a renowned English naturalist and engraver, was an influential figure in the field of natural history during the late 18th century. In this print, he depicted the Chevrotain, a small deer native to Africa and Asia, with antlers reminiscent of those found on antelopes. However, today we recognize this diminutive creature as a small version of the musk deer family. Its delicate features and subtle coloration are on full display in this exquisite engraving. The Meminna, a small deer species native to Sri Lanka, is depicted alongside the Chevrotain. This engraving offers a historical glimpse into the natural history of these fascinating creatures, providing a window into the world of wildlife that captivated the imagination of naturalists and artists alike during the 18th century. The intricate details and precise shading in this print serve as a testament to Bewick's mastery of the engraving technique. The gentle expression on the faces of these animals, their delicate features, and the lush foliage that surrounds them, all contribute to the timeless beauty of this print. This image offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the natural world as it was perceived and documented during a time when the study of nature was a source of wonder and inspiration. Today, we continue to be captivated by the natural world and the creatures that inhabit it, and this print serves as a reminder of the rich history of natural history and the important role that art and illustration play in documenting and preserving the natural world for future generations.
