EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Chauve souris ecoutant une chouette et un hibou chanter" transports us back to the enchanting world of 19th-century animal life. Illustrated by the talented JJ Granville, also known as J. J. Grandville, this piece is a true gem from the past. The image depicts a bat attentively listening to a duet between an owl and a nightjar. The intricate details in the engraving, signed by Breviere, bring these nocturnal creatures to life with remarkable precision. It is part of the section called "Souvenirs d'une vieille corneille" written by PJ Stahl in his book "Scenes de la vie privee et publique des animaux". Published in Paris in 1842 under the direction of P. -J. Stahl (a pseudonym for Pierre-Jules Hetzel), this work offers glimpses into contemporary animal behavior and societal norms through clever anthropomorphism. As we gaze at this print, we are transported into a whimsical realm where animals possess human-like qualities and engage in their own private lives. The artistry displayed here not only showcases Granville's talent but also highlights the creativity and imagination prevalent during that era. Preserved within this private collection, this photograph captures an extraordinary moment frozen in time—a testament to both artistic brilliance and historical significance. Its timeless appeal continues to captivate viewers even today, reminding us of our enduring fascination with nature's wonders and its ability to inspire our imaginations across generations.
