EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Rock cavy and Chinese hibiscus" transports us back to the early 19th century world of natural history. Created by Jacques Reyne Isidore Acarie-Baron, this handcoloured steel engraving showcases a unique combination of animal and plant life. In the foreground, we see a rock cavy or moco (Kerodon rupestris), a small rodent native to South America. Its adorable appearance is beautifully captured in intricate detail, highlighting its fur and expressive eyes. The rock cavy stands next to a vibrant Chinese hibiscus (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis), known for its striking red flowers that contrast against the green foliage. The artist's attention to scientific accuracy is evident as he includes additional information about these species. We learn that the scale insect Coccus ilicis infests the Chinese hibiscus while also discovering alternative names for both plants: Kermes and Ketmie respectively. This engraving was part of Felix-Edouard Guerin-Menevilles' renowned Dictionnaire Pittoresque d'Histoire Naturelle (Picturesque Dictionary of Natural History) published in Paris between 1834-39. It exemplifies the scientific methods employed during this era, where artists collaborated with zoologists to document various species accurately. Today, this print serves as a testament to both French culture and advancements in natural sciences during the 19th century. It allows us to appreciate not only the beauty of wildlife but also how art can contribute significantly to our understanding of nature's wonders.
