About the Item
The antique print titled "The Marmot Diana" is a charming hand-colored illustration of a groundhog or prairie dog. It depicts the creature in a restful pose, on what appears to be a rocky outcrop. The animal is shown with a robust and rounded body, indicative of the marmot family, which is known for their stocky build and short limbs. Its fur is colored with varying shades suggesting a soft and dense texture, and its face features prominent whiskers and a distinctive white patch, lending character and individuality to the illustration.
This print is based on a specimen that was drawn by Howitt at Exeter-Change, a noted menagerie in London during the early 19th century, where many exotic animals were kept for public display and for artists to study. The specific species or variety of marmot, referred to here as "Diana," may have been less well known or classified at the time, leading to the "unknown variety" description.
Published by G. & W.B. Whittaker around 1824, this work is an excellent representation of early 19th-century natural history illustration practices. The Whittakers were known publishers of the time, contributing to the era's expanding knowledge and public interest in wildlife and natural sciences. The hand coloring technique used in this print would have brought the image to life for contemporary viewers, offering a glimpse into the diversity of the animal kingdom as understood in that period.

1830's Hand-colored Lithograph of a Ground Squirrel
By Thomas Doughty
Located in Soquel, CA
Wonderfully preserved hand-colored 1830's lithograph "Ground Squirrel" by Thomas Doughty (American, 1793 - 1856), circa 1830. From "The Cabinet of Natural History and American Rural Sports." Phila: J.&T. Doughty, 1830-32. Sold previously by Bland Gallery, Early 20th century East Side gallery specializing in miniatures. Presented in frame with new acid-free mat under plexiglass. Image size: 7.25"H x 8.75"W.
Doughty’s short-lived magazine “The Cabinet of Natural History and American Rural Sports” is an important imprint in the history of American printing. It contained the first colored sporting prints made in America. Issued in monthly parts and published from the end of 1830 until the spring of 1834, “The Cabinet” featured articles on hunting, detailed descriptions of newly discovered flora and fauna, and some of the finest examples of early American hand-colored lithography. It was originally the work of the Doughty brothers, Thomas and John, with virtually all of the plates being the work of Thomas, who also founded the Hudson River School. But, by the spring of 1832, the partnership had broken up and Thomas had moved to Boston. An abbreviated third volume lacked Thomas’ touch.
