EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Cavy, 1863-79" takes us back to the late 19th century, offering a glimpse into the world of zoology and illustration. Created by Raimundo Petraroja, a talented artist who flourished during this period, it showcases his mastery in capturing the essence of nature's creatures. The image is part of an esteemed private collection and was originally featured in "A Atlante zoologico popolare" a renowned work compiled from the most recent contributions to Italian and foreign zoology. Published between 1863 and 1879 by Giovanni Boschi, this atlas aimed to educate readers about various animal species. In this particular lithograph, we are introduced to Cavia porcellus or commonly known as guinea pig. The vibrant colors used by Petraroja bring life to this adorable rodent. Its furry coat is meticulously detailed with every strand visible, while its expressive eyes seem almost lifelike. This artwork not only serves as an aesthetic delight but also holds historical significance as it represents scientific exploration during that era. It reminds us of our fascination with animals and how art has been instrumental in documenting their existence throughout history. Preserved through time thanks to ePurix Verlag Volker Christen's efforts, this print continues to captivate viewers today. As we admire this charming illustration of a cavy, let us appreciate both the artistic talent behind it and its contribution towards expanding our knowledge about these fascinating mammals.
