EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Born for Noctilion (fishing bat native to Latin America), 1850" by Louis Simon Lassalle, transports us back to the enchanting world of natural history in the 19th century. Measuring at a modest 18x12 cm, this delicate print showcases the N for Noctilion - a fishing bat native to Latin America - as part of an alphabet primer called "Alphabet du Jardin des Plantes". Illustrated with meticulous detail by Lassalle himself, this educational masterpiece was published in Paris in 1850 by Mrs. Louise Leneveux under her pseudonym Marie-Louise Pignot. The book features not only sixteen lithographs but also numerous vignettes on wood. The image captures the essence of early zoological studies and serves as a testament to the dedication and passion that went into documenting nature's wonders during that era. It offers viewers a glimpse into both European fascination with exotic creatures from faraway lands and their commitment to expanding knowledge through scientific exploration. With its intricate lines and precise shading techniques, this engraving is not just an artistic creation but also an invaluable historical artifact. Preserved within private collections today, it continues to inspire awe and curiosity about our planet's diverse animal kingdom. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we can still appreciate this remarkable piece of artistry from the late nineteenth century – a true testament to humanity's enduring quest for knowledge about our natural world.
