EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving from Rene Primevere Lesson's Complements de Buffon captures the beauty and intricacy of two North American ground squirrels - Richardson's ground squirrel, Urocitellus richardsonii, and the thirteen-lined ground squirrel, Ictidomys tridecemlineatus. The detailed illustration showcases the unique markings and features of these charming rodents, highlighting their importance in the natural world.
Richardson's ground squirrel, also known as Arctomis hoodii or Arctomis richardsonii, is a species native to western North America. Its distinctive coloring and striped pattern make it easily recognizable in its habitat. Meanwhile, the thirteen-lined ground squirrel is named for its thirteen alternating dark and light stripes that run down its back.
As we admire this historical print from 1838, we are reminded of the important role that these creatures play in their ecosystems. Ground squirrels are essential for seed dispersal and soil aeration, contributing to overall biodiversity in their environments.
Through this exquisite engraving, we can appreciate the artistry of nature as captured by talented illustrators like Rene Primevere Lesson. Let us continue to marvel at the wonders of our natural world and strive to protect these precious species for future generations to enjoy.
