EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite plate showcases a meticulously rendered illustration of Mus musculus, the common house mouse, from the collection of pencil sketches and watercolor drawings of British mammals created by Dr. Edward Adrian Wilson between 1890 and 1910. The house mouse, a member of the Muridae family, is a small mammal belonging to the order Muroidea, suborder Myomorpha, and the infraorder Murinae. It is a placental mammal, meaning it develops inside its mother's womb, and is part of the larger group Eutheria, or placental mammals. Dr. Wilson's illustration captures the intricate details of the house mouse's anatomy, from its pointed snout and small, round ears to its long, scaly tail and delicate paws. The mouse's fur is depicted in rich, naturalistic tones, adding to the lifelike quality of the drawing. The nineteenth century was a time of great interest in the study of natural history, and Dr. Wilson's illustrations were an essential contribution to the scientific community's understanding of British mammals. His work was produced during a period when the use of photography for scientific documentation was still limited, making detailed and accurate illustrations like these all the more valuable. Dr. Wilson's dedication to his work is evident in the high-quality and attention to detail in this illustration of the house mouse. His collection of drawings is a testament to his passion for the natural world and his commitment to advancing scientific knowledge.
