EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is a print from a collection of pencil sketches and watercolour drawings of British mammals created by the renowned naturalist and illustrator, Dr. Edward Adrian Wilson, between 1890 and 1910. The scene depicts a dramatic moment in the natural world as a hungry ermine, Mustela erminea, pounces on an unsuspecting European rabbit, Oryctolagus cuniculus. The ermine, a member of the weasel family and a master of camouflage, is expertly concealed in the undergrowth, ready to strike. The European rabbit, a common herbivore, is blissfully unaware of the imminent danger. The daytime attack is a rare sight, as ermines are typically nocturnal hunters. This illustration provides a glimpse into the intricate behaviour of these animals and the complex relationships between predator and prey in the European ecosystem. Dr. Wilson's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the essence of his subjects make this drawing a valuable addition to any natural history collection. Dr. Wilson, born in 1872, was a prolific illustrator and naturalist, and his work continues to inspire and inform our understanding of the natural world.
