EDITORS COMMENTS

The intricate details of this engraving highlight its unique features and allow us to appreciate the beauty of this elusive creature. Often mistaken for its larger relative, the stoat (Mustela erminea), the weasel has a distinct charm that sets it apart. As expressed in the English country saying "A Stoat is weasily recognised, whereas a Weasel is stoatally different" this print captures both their similarities and differences.
