EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "Sardinian Pika, 1833-39" takes us back to the enchanting world of nature in the 19th century. Created by an anonymous French artist from that era, this print is part of a private collection and showcases the incredible diversity of wildlife found on the island of Sardinia. The artwork originates from a renowned publication called "A Dictionnaire pittoresque d'histoire naturelle et des phénomènes de la nature" which was published between 1833 and 1839 by Felix Edouard Guerin-Meneville. This comprehensive dictionary aimed to capture not only the beauty but also the scientific significance of various species. In this particular illustration, we are treated to a visual feast featuring several fascinating creatures. The Sardinian Pika, also known as Lagomys sardus, takes center stage with its adorable appearance and distinctive features. Alongside it are other notable inhabitants of Sardinia's natural landscape: the rock ptarmigan (Lagopus mutus) and lagria beetle (Lagria hirta). Through intricate details and vibrant colors meticulously engraved onto paper using steel tools, this piece allows us to appreciate these animals' intricacies even centuries later. Whether you're drawn to birds or insects or have an affinity for mammals like pikas, there is something truly mesmerizing about observing them through such artistic renderings.
