EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing print from circa 1830, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, showcases three distinct types of hares: the Common Hare, the Alpine Hare, and the Capybara. The Common Hare, also known as the European Hare, is the most widespread hare species in Europe, Asia, and North Africa. They are known for their long ears, powerful hind legs, and agile leaping abilities, which allow them to evade predators with ease. The Alpine Hare, also called the Snow Hare, is native to the mountainous regions of Europe and Asia. They have thick, white fur during the winter months, which provides excellent camouflage in the snow. In the summer, their fur turns brown to blend in with their surroundings. The Capybara, however, is not a true hare but rather the world's largest rodent. Native to South America, they are semi-aquatic and can be found near rivers, ponds, and marshes. Capybaras have webbed feet and are excellent swimmers, making them well-adapted to their wet environments. This historical print offers a fascinating glimpse into the natural world of the past, showcasing the diversity of hare species that have captured the imagination and curiosity of people for centuries. The intricate details and lifelike depiction of each hare type are a testament to the skill and artistry of the printmaker of the time.
