This print titled "Carnivorous mammals, 19th century" takes us back in time to the fascinating world of European nature during the 1800s. The artwork showcases a quartet of remarkable carnivorous mammals that once roamed Britain's wilderness. The first creature depicted is the wolverine, known for its fierce and tenacious nature. Next to it stands a majestic polar bear, symbolizing the arctic regions with its thick fur and powerful presence. A raccoon-like animal called coati also makes an appearance, showcasing its ringed tail and curious demeanor. Lastly, we have the brown coati or coatimundi from the Americas, with its distinct features and lively expression. This historical illustration not only serves as a visual delight but also provides valuable insights into zoology and biology during this era. It reminds us of our rich natural heritage while highlighting these magnificent predators' importance in maintaining ecological balance. The image originates from an encyclopedic collection called "Encyclopaedia Metropolitana" which aimed to compile knowledge across various disciplines. Preserved by Middle Temple Library/Science Photo Library, this print offers a glimpse into English history through meticulous artistic representation. Whether you are an enthusiast of wildlife or simply appreciate artistry rooted in scientific exploration, this monochrome masterpiece invites you on a journey through time to witness some of Europe's most captivating carnivorous mammals from centuries past.
