EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph by Karl Joseph Brodtmann, published in Heinrich Rudolf Schinz's Illustrated Natural History of Men and Animals in 1836, showcases an enchanting assembly of water shrews and mole species. The intricately detailed print features eight distinct members of the Soricidae family, including the Water Shrew (Neomys fodiens), Etruscan Shrew (Suncus etruscus), Common Shrew (Sorex araneus), Star-Nosed Mole (Condylura cristata), European Mole (Talpa europaea), and Eastern Mole (Scalopus aquaticus). The Water Shrew, with its webbed feet and semi-aquatic lifestyle, is depicted gracefully swimming in the water. The Etruscan Shrew, the smallest mammal in Europe, is shown with its distinctive long snout and large eyes. The Common Shrew, a ubiquitous species, is illustrated with its typical pointed snout and small size. The Star-Nosed Mole, an extraordinary creature, is displayed with its unique star-shaped nose, which is highly sensitive and aids in its hunting abilities. The European Mole and Eastern Mole, both burrowing species, are shown in their respective environments. The European Mole is depicted with its characteristic velvety fur and long, powerful claws, while the Eastern Mole is illustrated with its lighter fur and smaller size. This stunning lithograph not only showcases the diverse range of shrews and moles but also highlights the intricate details of their anatomy and adaptations, making it a must-have for natural history enthusiasts and collectors alike.
