EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored engraving, created by Manceau after an illustration by Edouard Travies, showcases two intriguing creatures from the animal kingdom: the Malabar giant squirrel (Ratufa indica) and the European hamster (Cricetus cricetus). The Malabar giant squirrel, also known as the Indian giant squirrel or the Malabar black giant squirrel, is a native of the Western Ghats and southern India. With its glossy black fur, bushy tail, and striking white spots on its sides, this squirrel is a sight to behold. Weighing up to 2.5 kg and measuring around 60 cm in length, it is the largest Asian squirrel species. In stark contrast, the European hamster (Cricetus cricetus) is a small rodent native to Europe. With its brown fur, short, stocky body, and distinctive cheek pouches, it is a common sight in many European fields and meadows. European hamsters typically weigh between 100 and 150 grams and measure around 15 cm in length. Both animals are depicted in their natural habitats, with the Malabar giant squirrel perched on a tree branch, and the European hamster burrowing in the ground. This beautiful and intricately detailed engraving is taken from Charles d'Orbigny's Dictionnaire Universel d'Histoire Naturelle (Dictionary of Natural History), published in Paris in 1849. The work was a comprehensive and influential reference work on natural history, featuring illustrations of thousands of species. This engraving is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and artistry of the time, making it a valuable addition to any collection of natural history or wildlife art.
