EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Taxidermy" takes us back to the early 20th century when scientific enquiry and wildlife preservation were gaining momentum. The image showcases a detailed sectional diagram of a taxidermied squirrel, skillfully dissected to reveal its inner body structure. Commissioned for the Encyclopedia of Sports, Games and Pastimes in 1925, this illustration beautifully captures the intersection between science and art. It serves as a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship involved in taxidermy, an ancient practice aimed at preserving animals for educational or decorative purposes. The lithograph invites viewers into a world where nature meets human ingenuity. It sparks curiosity about animal anatomy while highlighting the importance of scientific exploration during that era. As we gaze upon this print from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded of how far our understanding of wildlife has come since then. Beyond its scientific significance, "Taxidermy" also hints at the role animals played in various games and sports during that time. Perhaps it alludes to parlour games involving stuffed animals or even field sports where squirrels may have been used as targets or props. Overall, this intriguing artwork offers a glimpse into both natural history and cultural pastimes of the early 20th century. Its timeless appeal continues to captivate audiences today with its blend of artistic beauty and scientific inquiry.
