EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored copperplate engraving depicts the Painted Woolly Bat, Kerivoula picta, a captivating nocturnal creature native to the Old World tropics. The image, created by the skilled hands of Jakob Andreas Eisenmann, based on an original illustration by Jacques de Seve, is an exquisite example of 18th-century zoological illustration. The bat is shown in intricate detail, with its furry body covered in a vibrant, multi-colored pattern. Its wings are spread wide, revealing the delicate membranes that allow it to fly gracefully through the night. The Painted Woolly Bat is a small species, with a body length of around 4 inches and a wingspan of about 6 inches. They are known for their distinctive markings, which vary from one individual to another, making each bat a unique work of art in its own right. This engraving is part of Johann Christian Daniel Schreber's "Animal Illustrations after Nature," also known as "Schreber's Fantastic Animals." Schreber was a German naturalist and physician who dedicated his life to the study of natural history. His work was groundbreaking in its attention to detail and accuracy, and this image of the Painted Woolly Bat is a testament to the meticulousness and artistry of the time. The Painted Woolly Bat is an essential part of the biodiversity of the tropical regions, and its inclusion in Schreber's work helped to increase awareness and understanding of this fascinating species during the 18th century. Today, it continues to inspire wonder and admiration, both for its beauty and for the important role it plays in its ecosystem.
