EDITORS COMMENTS
This image of a Bewick's Flying Squirrel (Petaurista elegans) was published in the early 19th century, around 1810, and is a testament to the fascination that exotic animals held for Europeans during that era. The Bewick's Flying Squirrel, native to south-east Asia, was once believed to inhabit Europe based on the similarities between its name and that of the famous English naturalist, Thomas Bewick. However, today we know that this agile rodent is not found in Europe but rather in the forests of China, Vietnam, Laos, and Myanmar. The Bewick's Flying Squirrel is a unique creature, with a membrane between its limbs that allows it to glide through the air from tree to tree. This ability, combined with its exotic appearance, made it a popular subject for natural history illustrations during the 18th and 19th centuries. This historical print, produced around the turn of the 19th century, showcases the intricate detail and artistry of natural history illustration during this period. The squirrel is depicted in a naturalistic setting, with its bushy tail curled around its body and its eyes alert and curious. The background features a detailed representation of the forest floor, with leaves, twigs, and other natural elements adding to the authenticity of the scene. Despite its current confinement to south-east Asia, the Bewick's Flying Squirrel remains an intriguing and beloved creature, both for its unique physical characteristics and for the role it played in the history of natural history illustration. This print serves as a reminder of the fascination that exotic animals held for Europeans during the colonial era and the important role that illustration played in documenting and preserving knowledge of the natural world.
