EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving from the late 19th century showcases the common leech, scientifically known as Hirudo medicinalis. The intricate details of this print bring to life the fascinating world of zoology and biology during that era. Underwater, we witness a mesmerizing scene where these slimy creatures thrive. Leeches have long been regarded as both intriguing and repulsive due to their parasitic nature. This engraving offers a glimpse into their unique anatomy, showcasing their elongated bodies resembling worms. With their suction cup-like mouths at one end, they attach themselves to unsuspecting hosts in order to feed on blood. The historical significance of this print cannot be overlooked; it serves as a testament to the scientific curiosity prevalent in the 19th century. It is through such detailed engravings that scientists were able to study and understand various species like leeches more thoroughly. As we admire this artwork by The Granger Collection, let us appreciate its educational value rather than focusing solely on commercial use or any specific company associated with it. Instead, let's delve into the rich history of zoological exploration and marvel at how far our understanding has come since then.
