EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "Aye-aye, 1833-39" is a remarkable piece of art from the 19th century. Created by the French School and now part of a private collection, this print showcases the incredible detail and beauty that can be achieved through engraving. The image is taken from "A Dictionnaire pittoresque d'histoire naturelle et des phénomènes de la nature" published between 1833 and 1839 by Felix Edouard Guérin-Méneville. It features an Aye-aye, also known as Daubentonia madagascariensis, a unique species native to Madagascar. The illustration captures the distinctive appearance of this nocturnal primate with its large eyes, elongated fingers, and bushy tail. Accompanying the Aye-aye in this print is another element of nature - the Chinesischer Holunder or Melia azederach plant. This adds depth to the composition while highlighting different aspects of natural history. The fine details and vibrant colours bring life to both flora and fauna depicted in this artwork. The use of steel engraving technique further enhances their intricate textures and forms. Preserved by ePurix Verlag Volker Christen today, this historic print serves as a testament to the rich artistic heritage found within scientific publications. Its inclusion in Fine Art Finder's collection allows us to appreciate not only its aesthetic value but also its contribution to our
