EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph depicts the Gray or northern pocket gopher, Thomomys talpoides, a small mammal native to North America. The intricately detailed illustration was created by Ernest E. Thompson and published in the "Report of the Ornithologist" by the US Department of Agriculture in 1892. Trautmann, Bailey, and Blampey were the skilled chromolithographers who brought Thompson's illustration to life in vibrant color. The Gray or northern pocket gopher is a burrowing rodent, known for its distinctive cheek pouches, which it uses to carry food to its underground burrow. With its short, stocky body and small, rounded ears, this gopher is well-adapted to its subterranean lifestyle. Its fur is typically grayish-brown on the back and lighter on the belly, providing excellent camouflage in its natural habitat. These solitary animals are primarily herbivores, feeding on a variety of vegetation, including grasses, roots, and stems. They play a crucial role in the ecosystem by aerating the soil and helping to distribute seeds. However, they can also be considered pests when they damage crops or gardens. This beautiful and informative chromolithograph not only showcases the natural history of the Gray or northern pocket gopher but also highlights the impressive collaboration between the illustrator, chromolithographers, and the US Department of Agriculture during the late 19th century. It is a testament to the importance of documenting and preserving the natural world for future generations.
