EDITORS COMMENTS
Title Page: British Mammals, Vol. 1, by Archibald Thorburn (1860-1933) This evocative title page, taken from the first volume of "British Mammals," published by Longmans, Green & Co in London between 1920 and 1921, showcases the rich natural history of the United Kingdom's diverse mammal population. The title is accompanied by an intricately detailed illustration of a badger (Meles meles), a member of the mustelid family, which is native to Europe and North America. Archibald Thorburn, a renowned Scottish natural history artist, was the author and illustrator of this two-volume set. Thorburn's exceptional talent is evident in the meticulously drawn and colored plates, as well as the pen and ink sketches that grace the pages. Each illustration captures the unique characteristics and behaviors of the featured mammals, providing a window into their natural habitats and lives. The title page also includes a list of the mammal orders and families that are covered in the work, such as Carnivora, Mustelidae, Eutheria, Mustelinae, Caniformia, Epitheria, Mammals, Arctoidea, and Musteloidea. The badger, with its distinctive stripes and powerful digging abilities, serves as a fitting representation of the diverse and captivating creatures that can be found within the pages of this remarkable publication. The title page's elegant design and intricate detailing reflect the high-quality production values of the time, making it a beautiful and informative artifact of the 19th century's fascination with natural history. This image is a testament to the enduring appeal of natural history illustrations and the importance of preserving and studying the world's diverse mammal populations.
