EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning array of rodent species, beautifully captured by the talented artist William Smellie. From the charming suricate or meerkat to the adorable hamster and the majestic great mangouste, this composition is a true celebration of nature's diversity. Smellie's handcoloured copperplate engraving brings these creatures to life, highlighting their unique features and intricate details. Each animal seems to possess its own personality, inviting us into their world with curiosity and wonder. The composition also includes other fascinating rodents such as the bobak, phalanger or possum, coquallin or varied squirrel, and even a female phalanger. This eclectic mix reminds us of the vast variety that exists within this family of mammals. Originally published in Count Georges Buffon's "History of the Earth and Animated Nature" this print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a valuable scientific record. It transports us back in time to 1829 when Thomas Kelly first brought Smellie's translation to London audiences. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are reminded of our interconnectedness with all living beings on Earth. It is a testament to our shared planet's beauty and complexity—a reminder that every creature has its place in shaping our natural world.
