EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving from the 19th century showcases a delightful scene of hamsters and field voles in their natural habitat. The print, part of a private collection, is believed to have originated from Friedrich Justin Bertuch's renowned "Picture Book for Children" published between 1790 and 1830. The artwork beautifully captures the diversity of these small mammals, featuring the common hamster, black hamster, blind mole rat, desert golden mole, as well as other species like the blind mouse and shrewmouse. Each creature is meticulously illustrated with intricate details that bring them to life on paper. The composition exudes an air of tranquility as these furry creatures go about their daily activities in harmony with nature. Their tiny paws delicately tread upon lush green grass while they explore their surroundings with curiosity and grace. This enchanting print not only serves as a visual delight but also offers an educational insight into various mammal species found in Germany during that era. It reminds us of the rich biodiversity that exists within our world and encourages us to appreciate even the smallest inhabitants of our ecosystems. Preserved through time by ePurix Verlag Volker Christen, this German work of art continues to captivate viewers with its timeless charm. As it emerges from obscurity into public view once again thanks to Bridgeman Images' efforts, we are reminded of the importance of preserving such historical treasures for future generations to cherish and learn from.
