EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century lithograph, titled "Genet, 1860" showcases the exquisite artistry of the German School. Housed in a private collection, this print is a part of Leopold Joseph Fitzinger's renowned publication, "A Bilder-Atlas zur wissenschaftlich-populären Naturgeschichte der Säugetiere in ihren sämtlichen Hauptformen" from 1860. The image portrays three fascinating creatures: the common ichneumon or genet (Genetta afra), the Egyptian ichneumon or pharaoh's rat (Herpestes pharaonis), and the common palm civet or roller marten (Paradoxurus typus). Each animal is meticulously illustrated with vibrant colors that bring them to life on paper. The genet, with its sleek fur and mesmerizing eyes, exudes an air of elegance. The Egyptian ichneumon captivates with its unique features and mysterious allure. Lastly, the common palm civet stands out with its distinctive markings and graceful stance. This lithograph not only celebrates these remarkable mammals but also serves as a testament to the scientific exploration and fascination with nature during that era. It reminds us of our enduring curiosity about animals and their diverse forms. Bridgeman Images has preserved this masterpiece for generations to appreciate its beauty and historical significance. As we gaze upon this print today, we are transported back in time to witness these extraordinary creatures through the eyes of talented artists from
