Zoology Print of Bears, Foxes, Skunks and Mustelids by T Bromme, circa 1865
Description:
This finely hand-colored 19th-century zoological print is attributed to German geographer and publisher Traugott Bromme and was most likely published in his Illustrirter Hand-Atlas der Erde und der Menschheit around 1865. It features a rich variety of carnivorous mammals, with animals from the bear, fox, dog, skunk, raccoon, and mustelid families illustrated in naturalistic postures within carefully drawn landscapes.
The plate displays sixteen animals in total, each numbered and rendered with detailed anatomical features and realistic coloration. Species include the polar bear, brown bear, red fox, European badger, raccoon, skunk, otter, beaver, mongoose, civet, genet, and others. The lively composition places each animal within its typical environment, from snowy tundras and riversides to forested hills and grassy clearings. The use of soft greens, browns, and icy blues enhances the sense of natural habitat and movement.
This type of illustration was common in Bromme’s popular 19th-century atlases, which aimed to educate readers on geography, ethnography, and zoology. His hand-colored lithographs are valued today not only for their scientific content but also for their artistic charm and documentary quality. The print serves as an early visual summary of mammalian biodiversity, suitable for collectors of antique natural history prints, educational illustrations, or 19th-century European publishing.
Printed on thick, creamy paper, this zoological sheet remains a striking example of mid-19th-century scientific art. It captures the era’s spirit of discovery and its attempt to catalogue and understand the natural world through detailed imagery.
Condition report:
