EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving showcases the intricate details of a Black Hamster, a rare species found in the 19th century. The print is part of a private collection and was created by an anonymous German artist from that era. The engraver, Johann Nusbiegel, skillfully brings out the hamster's features with precise lines and shading techniques. Every strand of fur is meticulously etched onto the paper, capturing the essence of this fascinating creature. Originally published in "A Die Säugetiere in Abbildungen nach der Natur mit Beschreibungen" by Johann Christian Daniel von Schreber, this artwork serves as both an illustration and documentation of natural history during that time period. The image portrays Mus cricetus niger or Cricetus cricetus - scientific names for this particular species. Its dark coat contrasts beautifully against its surroundings, making it stand out even more. As we gaze upon this enchanting piece, we are reminded of the diversity and beauty found within our animal kingdom. It serves as a reminder to appreciate nature's wonders and preserve them for future generations to admire. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece through their Fine Art Finder platform, allowing us to delve into history while admiring the artistry behind it all.
