EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph from 1836 showcases a diverse group of small mammals, each with their own unique characteristics and adaptations. The print features the water shrew (Neomys fodiens), Etruscan shrew (Suncus etruscus), common shrew (Sorex araneus), star-nosed mole (Condylura cristata), European mole (Talpa europaea), and eastern mole (Scalopus aquaticus). In this engraving by Karl Joseph Brodtmann, we are transported back to the 19th century when natural history illustrations were highly valued for their scientific accuracy and artistic beauty. The intricate details of each animal's fur, claws, and snouts are meticulously captured in this piece. The water shrew is known for its ability to swim effortlessly underwater while hunting for prey. The Etruscan shrew is one of the smallest mammals in the world, boasting an incredibly high metabolic rate. The common shrew has a venomous bite that aids in subduing its insect prey. The star-nosed mole stands out with its distinctive star-shaped nose that helps it detect vibrations in the soil as it burrows underground. The European mole is well-known for creating complex tunnel systems beneath lawns and gardens. Lastly, the eastern mole possesses powerful forelimbs perfectly adapted for digging through soil. This lithograph not only serves as a visual delight but also offers valuable insights into these fascinating creatures' lives. It reminds us of our enduring fascination with nature's wonders and how art can bring them to life even centuries later.
