EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "Java Mouse-Deer" takes us back to the 19th century and showcases the incredible talent of German School artists. The print is part of a private collection and offers a glimpse into the world of natural history illustration. Illustrated by Jacques de Seve and engraved by Johann Friedrich Volkart, this artwork was featured in "A Die SAaugthiere in Abbildungen nach der Natur mit BeschreibungenA" published by Johann Christian Daniel von Schreber. This publication, spanning from 1774 to 1855, aimed to depict animals in their natural habitats with detailed descriptions. The subject of this particular engraving is the Java Mouse-Deer (Moschus pygmaeus or Tragulus javanicus), a small mammal known for its diminutive size and delicate features. The artist beautifully captures its graceful form and intricate markings, allowing viewers to appreciate its unique beauty. As we admire this enchanting image, we are reminded of the rich diversity found within our natural world. From its expressive eyes to its dainty hooves, every detail has been meticulously rendered through the artistry of de Seve's illustrations and Volkart's engravings. This print serves as a testament to both scientific exploration and artistic expression. It invites us to marvel at nature's wonders while appreciating the skillful craftsmanship that brings them to life on paper.
