EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely detailed hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the Common Dormouse, Muscardinus avellanarius, also known as the Muscardine Mouse or the Edible Dormouse. The Common Dormouse is a small rodent native to Europe and parts of Asia. They are characterized by their round, fluffy tails, short limbs, and distinctive fur pattern, which is a mix of yellowish-brown and white. The Common Dormouse is a nocturnal animal and spends most of its day sleeping in a nest, often in trees or in burrows. They feed on a varied diet that includes fruits, nuts, seeds, and insects. During periods of food scarcity, they may enter a state of torpor, during which their body temperature drops and their metabolism slows down, allowing them to survive with minimal food intake. This engraving is from Edward Griffith's "The Animal Kingdom" by the Baron Cuvier, published in London by Whittaker in 1825. The engraving was likely produced by Harriet or Edward Griffith. The work is considered a seminal work in the field of natural history and zoology, and this image of the Common Dormouse is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and artistic skill of the time. The Common Dormouse continues to be an important species in European folklore and mythology, with many stories and legends surrounding their behavior and habits. Today, they are protected in many parts of Europe due to their declining populations, and efforts are being made to conserve their habitats and populations.
