EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts a Mexian Opossum, also known as a Bewick's Opossum, in its natural mountainous habitat. Dating back to the late 18th century, this historical image was created by the renowned English natural history illustrator, Thomas Bewick. The Mexian Opossum is native to the mountainous regions of New Spain, which is now known as Mexico. This opossum species is named after Bewick, reflecting his significant contribution to the scientific documentation of the natural world. The Mexian Opossum is a unique and intriguing creature, with its prehensile tail, pointed ears, and distinctive face. They are omnivorous, feeding on fruits, seeds, insects, and small vertebrates. Their elongated snout and sharp claws make them skilled climbers and excellent hunters. This print provides a glimpse into the past, offering a window into the natural history of Mexico during the late 1700s. The mountainous terrain depicted in the background adds to the sense of adventure and discovery, as explorers and naturalists ventured into new territories to document the wonders of the natural world. Bewick's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the print, with every hair on the opossum's body visible, and the intricate textures of the mountainous terrain faithfully rendered. The historical significance of this print lies not only in its accurate representation of the Mexian Opossum but also in its role as a record of the natural history of Mexico during a time when European exploration and documentation were at their height. This print is a testament to the enduring fascination with the natural world and the importance of preserving and documenting the diversity of life on Earth. It is a reminder of the rich history of natural history illustration and the role it plays in our understanding of the natural world and our place within it.
