19th-Century Zoological Lithograph of Beavers, Muskrats and Field Mice

About the Item

Title: 19th-Century Zoological Lithograph of Beavers, Muskrats, and Field Mice Description: This 19th-century lithograph presents a detailed scientific study of various rodents, highlighting their anatomical features and natural habits. The print is part of a comprehensive zoological series that aimed to document mammals in meticulous detail. The finely executed lithographic shading and precision in form demonstrate the high level of craftsmanship characteristic of early natural history illustration. The featured animals include the water rat (Waterrat), field mouse (Akkermaus), small field mouse (kleine Veldmuis), Canadian muskrat (Canadasche Ondatra), and beaver (Bever). Additionally, the print contains anatomical studies of the beaver’s front and hind feet, illustrating its adaptations for an aquatic lifestyle. The beaver is depicted on a riverbank, a fitting representation of its natural environment, emphasizing its role as a skilled dam builder. As a historical artifact, this lithograph offers both artistic beauty and scientific significance, making it an excellent addition to collections focused on natural history, zoology, or early scientific illustration. Its educational value makes it an ideal display piece for libraries, museums, or private collectors interested in 19th-century wildlife documentation. Condition Summary: The print remains in near excellent condition, with well-preserved fine details and crisp lithographic lines. The paper shows only minimal signs of aging, with slight foxing in the margins that does not detract from the clarity of the illustration. There are no tears or significant creases, and the overall presentation is of high aesthetic and historical value. Framing Tips: To best showcase this lithograph, a simple dark wood or black frame will highlight the fine details of the drawing without distraction. A neutral, archival-quality mat in off-white will add depth while protecting the paper. UV-resistant glass is recommended to prevent fading and preserve the integrity of the print. Displaying it alongside other zoological prints from the same period would create a stunning natural history collection, suitable for home libraries, offices, or academic settings.
