EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving of a Giant Anteater takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing the incredible artistry and attention to detail of the German School. The print, part of a private collection, is an exquisite example of nature illustration. Created by illustrator Jacques de Sève and engraved by Johann Sebastian Leitner, this artwork was featured in "A Die SAaugthiere in Abbildungen nach der Natur mit BeschreibungenA" published between 1774-1855 by Johann Christian Daniel von Schreber. It beautifully captures the essence of these fascinating creatures. The image portrays two species: Myrmecophaga jubata and Myrmecophaga tridactyla, commonly known as Giant Anteaters. With their long snouts and sharp claws perfectly depicted in this engraving, they are seen foraging for ants - their primary source of food. The level of precision achieved in this piece is truly remarkable. Every line and stroke brings out the texture of their fur and showcases their unique physical features. This print serves not only as an artistic masterpiece but also as a valuable reference for naturalists studying these zahnarme Säugetiere (toothless mammals). Preserved by ePurix Verlag Volker Christen, this historical gem from German history reminds us of our fascination with wildlife throughout time. Its presence evokes curiosity about these magnificent creatures that roam our planet. As we admire this enchanting engraving from Bridg
