EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "La Barbastelle & La Pipistrelle, c1763" a remarkable creation by Christian Friedrich Fritzsch. The image features two exquisite bat species, the barbastelle bat and the pipistrelle bat. This particular artwork is part of the renowned publication called "Histoire Naturelle, generale et particuliere, avec la description du Cabinet du Roi" (Natural History, General and Particular, with a Description of the King's Cabinet), which was authored by Comte de Buffon between 1749 and 1804. Comte de Buffon's monumental work spanned multiple volumes and encompassed various scientific disciplines such as physics, chemistry, technology, and most notably natural history. It served as an extensive compilation of knowledge available during that era regarding animals' biology. The intricate engraving beautifully captures these fascinating creatures in their natural habitat. The composition portrays both bats in a crouching position with their wings elegantly spread out. Their delicate bodies are meticulously detailed to highlight every feature from their legs to their wingspan. This enchanting piece not only reflects the scientific curiosity prevalent during the 18th century but also pays homage to French contributions to zoology. Through this monochrome masterpiece created by Fritzsch under Buffon's guidance, we are transported back in time to appreciate nature's wonders through artistry and science combined harmoniously.
