EDITORS COMMENTS
A Rare Sighting of a Common Raccoon in the 18th Century This print, depicting a Common Raccoon (Procyon lotor), is an intriguing glimpse into the natural history of North America during the 18th century. Sourced from Mary Evans Picture Library, this historical image offers a rare and fascinating insight into a time when encounters with these fascinating creatures were less common than they are today. The Common Raccoon, a member of the Procyonidae family, is a highly adaptable and intelligent mammal native to the Americas. With its distinctive black "mask" around its eyes, ringed tail, and dexterous paws, the raccoon has long been a subject of fascination for naturalists and explorers. This print, however, suggests that the raccoon was still a relatively new discovery for Europeans at the time. The intricate detail and lifelike quality of the illustration suggest that the artist had either observed the animal firsthand or had access to detailed descriptions and sketches from those who had. The image also offers a glimpse into the natural habitat of the raccoon during the 18th century. Surrounded by lush foliage and standing on a tree stump, the raccoon appears at ease in its environment. The inclusion of other native plants and animals in the background further underscores the importance of the natural world in the lives of early settlers and explorers. Overall, this print serves as a reminder of the rich natural history that has shaped North America and the importance of preserving and celebrating the natural world for future generations. With its intricate detail, historical significance, and captivating subject matter, this print is a must-have for any collection focused on natural history, wildlife, or the history of North America.
