EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled "FOX / STEWART C1840," offers a glimpse into the past of the elusive and intriguing world of the red fox (Vulpes vulpes) as it was depicted in the mid-19th century United Kingdom. The photograph, believed to be circa 1840, captures the essence of the fox's cunning and agility as it prowls through the lush, green landscape. The red fox is one of the most widespread and adaptable members of the canid family, and has long held a special place in the folklore and mythology of many cultures. In the UK, the fox has been a symbol of both admiration and fear, revered for its beauty and cunning, yet also reviled for its role as a predator of livestock and game. This photograph, taken over 170 years ago, provides a fascinating window into the past, offering a glimpse of a time when the natural world was still largely untouched by human influence. The fox's vibrant red coat, piercing eyes, and alert posture convey a sense of both grace and power, making it a truly iconic representation of the natural world as it was once known in the UK. The image, which is part of the extensive collection of historical prints available from Mary Evans Picture Library, serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving the natural world and the rich cultural heritage it represents. It also highlights the enduring allure of the red fox, which continues to captivate and inspire generations of people around the world.
