EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored steel engraving, created by Jacques Raymond Brascassat in 1834-39 for Felix-Edouard Guerin-Meneville's Dictionnaire Pittoresque d'Histoire Naturelle (Picturesque Dictionary of Natural History), depicts a charming scene of red foxes, Vulpes vulpes, outside their den. The image captures the essence of the fox's natural habitat, with the animals nestled at the base of a tree, surrounded by lush vegetation. The intricate details of the engraving bring the scene to life, from the textured bark of the tree to the vibrant red fur of the foxes. Red foxes are the largest of the true foxes and are native to Europe, Asia, and North America. They are highly adaptable creatures, thriving in a variety of habitats from forests to grasslands. In this image, we see a mother fox with her cubs, teaching them essential survival skills outside their den. The mother's attentive gaze and protective stance convey her love and care for her young. The use of hand-coloring adds an extra layer of beauty to the engraving, making the scene even more captivating. The vibrant colors bring out the natural tones of the foxes' fur and the rich greens of the foliage. This image is a testament to the artistry and skill of Brascassat and Guerin-Meneville, who created a work of art that continues to inspire and delight natural history enthusiasts to this day.
