EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving of a Pygmy Shrew takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing the intricate details and artistry of German School. The Private Collection that houses this print is truly fortunate to possess such a remarkable piece. Engraved by Johann Nusbiegel, this artwork originates from "A Die SAaugthiere in Abbildungen nach der Natur mit Beschreibungen" published by Johann Christian Daniel von Schreber. This publication, spanning from 1774 to 1855, aimed to depict animals in their natural habitat with accurate descriptions. The Zwergspitzmaus (Pygmy Shrew) depicted here is an exquisite example of nature's wonders. Every line and stroke captures its unique features and essence. Its small size and delicate appearance are beautifully portrayed through this illustration. As we admire this engraving, we delve into the world of natural history and appreciate the diversity found within mammals. Shrews have long fascinated scientists due to their peculiar characteristics and behaviors. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, we can now enjoy this stunning representation of a Pygmy Shrew. It serves as a reminder that even creatures as tiny as these shrews hold immense beauty worth preserving for generations to come.
