EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured steel engraving captures the delicate beauty of the Water shrew, Neomys fodiens (Sorex remifer, Sorex fodiens). Created by artist James Stewart and engraved by Lizars for William Jardine's Naturalist's Library in Edinburgh in 1836, this illustration is a stunning example of early natural history artwork.
The intricate details of the shrew's fur and features are brought to life through careful shading and coloring, showcasing the skill and artistry of both the illustrator and engraver. The graceful lines and textures give this print a sense of depth and realism that draws viewers into the world of this fascinating mammal.
As one gazes upon this image, they can almost imagine the Water shrew scurrying through its natural habitat, hunting for prey along riverbanks or diving beneath water to catch aquatic insects. Its sleek form and curious expression seem to capture a moment frozen in time, inviting us to appreciate the wonders of nature up close.
This print serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving our planet's diverse wildlife species, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant. Through art like this engraving, we can connect with these creatures on a deeper level and gain a greater appreciation for their place in our world.
