This print showcases the exquisite artwork of Edward Adrian Wilson, a renowned artist from the late 19th to early 20th century. Titled "Arctic hare" this plate is part of a remarkable collection featuring pencil sketches and watercolour drawings of British mammals. Created between 1890 and 1910, these illustrations provide an invaluable glimpse into the Victorian era's fascination with nature and zoology. The focus of this particular piece is the Arctic hare (Lepus timidus), a magnificent creature known for its incredible speed and agility in its natural habitat. The delicate strokes capture every detail of this wild mammal, highlighting its elegant form and snowy white fur that perfectly blends with its surroundings. As we admire this stunning illustration, we are transported to the vast landscapes where these hares roam freely – mountains covered in glistening snow, tundras stretching as far as the eye can see. The artist's meticulous attention to anatomical accuracy brings life to this lagomorph species, allowing us to appreciate their biological uniqueness within the animal kingdom. Edward Adrian Wilson's artistic prowess shines through his use of both pencil sketching and watercolour techniques. This combination adds depth and texture to his work while maintaining a sense of ethereal beauty that characterizes Victorian-era illustrations. Displayed by the Natural History Museum in London, this print serves as a testament to Dr Edward Adrian Wilson's exceptional talent as an artist-scientist hybrid who dedicated his life to capturing Earth's diverse fauna on paper for
