EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcolored copperplate stipple engraving, titled "Grey long-eared bat, Plecotus austriacus, and Black mastiff bat, Molossus rufus," is an exquisite example of natural history illustration from the 19th century. The illustration, which was published in Frederic Cuvier's Dictionary of Natural Science: Mammals, in Paris, France, in 1816, is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and artistic skill of its creators. The image depicts two distinct bat species, the Grey long-eared bat (Plecotus austriacus) and the Black mastiff bat (Molossus rufus). The Grey long-eared bat, with its distinctive long ears and grey fur, is shown perched on a branch, its wings spread out to the side. The Black mastiff bat, with its dark fur and powerful appearance, is shown in flight, its wings outstretched and its sharp teeth bared. The illustration was produced by Jean Gabriel Pretre, a painter of natural history at Empress Josephine's zoo and later becoming the artist to the Museum of Natural History in Paris. The engraving was executed by Victor, under the direction of Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin, and published by F.G. Levrault. The intricate stipple engraving technique used in this print allowed for a high level of detail and texture, bringing the bats to life in a way that was not possible with other forms of illustration at the time. This beautiful and historically significant print is a reminder of the important role that natural history illustration played in the advancement of scientific knowledge during the 19th century. It also serves as a reminder of the beauty and diversity of the natural world, and the importance of preserving it for future generations.
