About the Item

Le Hamster is an etching realized by Pierre Charles Baquoy in 1771. It belongs to the suite "Histoire naturelle, générale et particulière avec la description du Cabinet du Roi". Pierre Charles Baquoy (27 July 1759 – 4 February 1829) was a French painter and engraver, known for depictions of famous historical characters. Baquoy was born and died in Paris. In his time he was considered an eminent artist-engraver and among other things was a professor of drawing and an employee of the Musee Royal. He was the illustrator of the Kehl edition of Voltaire and also produced some of the engravings for the 1788-1793 Complete Works of Rousseau (Émile and Theátre et Poesies). He was also one of the painters depicting contemporary society in Paris for early fashion magazines such as the Journal des Dames et des Modes and "La Mesangere" (published between 1797 and 1839). His drawings of this kind, like those of others such as the La Mesangere editor Pierre Antoine Leboux de la Mesangere, Paul Gavarni, Antoine Charles Horace Vernet and Louis-Marie Lanté are considered an essential resource for the study of the fashion and society of the time.

Hand-Colored Antique Illustrations of Various Rodent-like Animals, circa 1820
Located in Langweer, NL
Original antique print of mouse species / mice and other rodents. This engraved print originates from a very rare unknown Dutch work. The plates are similar to the plates in the famous German work: ‘Bilderbuch fur Kinder' by F.J. Bertuch, published 1790-1830 in Weimar. This could be Dutch edition of this work (no references found), or a work that used the Bertuch plates. Published circa 1820. This engraving described in more detail: The print features six illustrations of various rodent-like animals. They are not all mice; they represent a range of rodent species, which can be inferred from their different physical characteristics: 1. The largest animal at the top left looks like a type of pika or a chinchilla due to its rounded ears and body shape. 2. The second illustration on the top right is a curled-up animal, which might be a dormouse based on its compact body and fur texture. 3. The animal at the center-right with prominent ears and elongated body could be a type of rat or a gerbil. 4. The creature in the middle left with large hind legs and long ears appears to be a jerboa, which is known for its distinctive jumping movement. 5. The bottom left animal resembles a vole...
