EDITORS COMMENTS

The detailed depiction of this bat species, known for its distinctive grey head and striking features, showcases the artist's keen eye for capturing the essence of wildlife.
Bougainville's work is part of his renowned 'Journal de la navigation autour du globe' series, which documents his sailing expeditions around the world during the early 19th century. This particular plate is one of sixty in the atlas, highlighting the diversity and beauty of animal life encountered during his voyages.
The delicate colors and precise rendering of the bat's skull and skeleton demonstrate Bougainville's dedication to scientific accuracy in his illustrations. Through this artwork, viewers are transported to a time when exploration and discovery were at the forefront of natural sciences.
