About the Item
Zoology Print of Rodents, Squirrels, Hares and Beavers by T Bromme, c1865
This beautifully hand-colored zoological lithograph dates to around 1865 and is attributed to German geographer and publisher Traugott Bromme. It was likely issued as part of his widely circulated work Illustrirter Hand-Atlas der Erde und der Menschheit. The print features a rich and lively array of small mammals, primarily rodents and lagomorphs, meticulously illustrated in natural settings.
Among the animals depicted and numbered are several types of squirrels including the red squirrel (1), black squirrel (3), and flying squirrel (13), as well as common rodents such as the guinea pig (24), dormouse (16), lemming (6), hamster (8), vole (15), rat (17), and field mouse (14). Larger species include the North American beaver (18), capybara (5), porcupine (21), and marmot (7). There is also a chinchilla (25), a muskrat (9), and a woodchuck or groundhog (22). Two species of hares are shown: the European brown hare (20) and the mountain or snowshoe hare (23), along with the rabbit (19).
Each animal is illustrated with careful attention to posture and habitat, placed within softly colored natural scenes. These chromolithographs reflect both scientific accuracy and artistic grace, characteristic of Bromme’s mid-19th-century atlas publications, which aimed to educate and inspire curiosity about the diversity of life across the globe.
This plate is a fine example of natural history printing from the period and offers collectors a detailed and decorative look into the zoological knowledge of the time. It is ideal for lovers of antique prints, zoology, and early educational illustrations.
