EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the unique features of the Cape mole-rat, Georychus capensis, a fascinating rodent native to South Africa. Known for its long, toothed muzzle, this intriguing creature is also referred to as the Long-toothed Marmot or the Cape Mole. The Cape mole-rat is a social burrowing rodent, living in complex underground systems that can span several acres. They are characterized by their long, incisor-like front teeth, which are used for digging and gnawing. The engraving by Peter Brown, from his esteemed work "New Illustrations of Zoology," published by B. White in London in 1776, captures the Cape mole-rat's distinctive appearance with remarkable detail. The Cape mole-rat is a remarkable adaptation to its subterranean lifestyle, with short, hairless limbs and a sparse, scant coat. Their eyes and ears are small, and their nostrils are located on the top of their snout, allowing them to navigate their underground tunnels efficiently. This rare and captivating engraving offers a glimpse into the natural history of this intriguing South African rodent, providing a window into the rich biodiversity of the African continent during the late 18th century. The detailed illustration, produced by Peter Brown, stands as a testament to the skill and artistry of natural history illustration during this period.
