EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving from the 19th century showcases a collection of strange mammals, offering a fascinating glimpse into the world of German School art. The print, part of a private collection, is an exquisite example from Friedrich Justin Bertuch's renowned "Picture Book for Children" published between 1790 and 1830. The image features several peculiar creatures that pique our curiosity. Among them are the Utia, Bajinck, and Cap sche Zwergmaus - all enigmatic species rarely encountered in everyday life. Additionally, we can spot Capromys Furnierii, Sciurus Plantani, and Mus pumilio within this menagerie of unique animals. The intricate details captured by the artist bring these mysterious mammals to life on paper. Each stroke of the engraver's tool highlights their distinctive characteristics and textures with remarkable precision. From the java squirrel's agile posture to the delicate fur patterns adorning each creature, this print invites us to marvel at nature's diversity. Preserved through time by ePurix Verlag Volker Christen and made available by Bridgeman Images for public appreciation today, this artwork not only serves as a visual delight but also offers an educational window into historical zoology studies. As we admire these enchanting beings depicted in vivid colours against a backdrop reminiscent of old-world charm, we are reminded once again of humanity's enduring fascination with Earth's magnificent fauna throughout centuries past.
