EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Lapland Marmots, or Lemmings, in their Burrows," was created by the renowned naturalist and illustrator, Thomas Bewick, in the late 18th century. The image showcases three Marmots, or Lemmings, as they were commonly known during that time. These small, rodent-like creatures belong to the Arvicolinae family, with the Lapland Marmot, or the LAPLAND LEMMING (Mus lemmus), being the largest species among them. Bewick's graphic and meticulously detailed illustration offers a glimpse into the natural world of these fascinating creatures. The Marmots are depicted in their burrows, which they dig into the ground to provide shelter and protection from the harsh Lapland climate. The intricate burrow system is a testament to their remarkable engineering skills, allowing them to survive in the cold, unforgiving environment. However, Bewick is best known for his account of the Lemming's mass migrations, a phenomenon that has intrigued scientists and naturalists for centuries. These migrations, which can involve thousands of Lemmings traveling in large groups, are believed to occur in response to food scarcity. The exact reasons and mechanisms behind these mass movements remain a subject of ongoing research and debate. This historical print not only serves as an essential record of the natural world during the late 1700s but also highlights the importance of documenting the intricacies of the natural world for future generations. Thomas Bewick's "Lapland Marmots, or Lemmings, in their Burrows" is a testament to his dedication to natural history and his remarkable artistic talent.
