EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite illustration showcases Myotis mystacinus, the Whiskered Bat, a nocturnal mammal belonging to the order Chiroptera and the family Vespertilionidae. Drawn from life during the late 19th century, this artwork is part of a collection of pencil sketches and watercolor drawings of British mammals by Dr. Edward Adrian Wilson (1872-1912). Myotis mystacinus, also known as the Mouse-eared Bat or the Common Bat, is a small, placental mammal and a member of the suborder Microchiroptera, or microbats. These bats are characterized by their ability to echolocate using sounds produced in their larynx, which helps them navigate and locate prey in the dark. The Whiskered Bat is native to Europe, North America, and Asia, and can be found in various habitats, including forests, woodlands, and gardens. They are important pollinators and seed dispersers, playing a crucial role in maintaining biodiversity. Dr. Wilson, a renowned naturalist and explorer, was an accomplished illustrator who dedicated his life to the study of mammals. His meticulous drawings and sketches, like this one, provide valuable insights into the natural history of British mammals during the late 19th century. The intricate details and lifelike quality of this illustration are a testament to Wilson's exceptional artistic abilities and his deep appreciation for the natural world.
