EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving from Bertuch's "Bilderbuch fur Kinder" showcases the unique and fascinating creatures of the animal kingdom. The Duck-billed platypus, with its distinctive bill and webbed feet, is depicted in all its glory alongside the skull of this mysterious mammal. In contrast, the meadow jumping mouse is shown both awake and hibernating, highlighting the different states of these tiny rodents.
Friedrich Johann Bertuch, a renowned German publisher and man of arts, curated this illustration as part of his comprehensive encyclopedia for children. With 1,200 engraved plates covering topics such as natural history, science, costume, mythology, and more, Bertuch aimed to educate and inspire young minds through visual storytelling.
The intricate details captured in this print offer a glimpse into the diversity of life on Earth. From the curious features of the Duck-billed platypus to the behavior patterns of the meadow jumping mouse, each creature holds its own place in nature's tapestry.
As we admire this historical artwork from 1798, we are reminded of the importance of curiosity and exploration in understanding our world. Let us continue to marvel at the wonders around us and appreciate every living being that shares our planet.
