EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Universal Images Group (UIG) showcases a significant historical moment - the capture of a Black Rat (Rattus rattus) in a trap. Dating back to 1838, this hand-colored engraving was published in William Jardine's renowned "Naturalists Library" series, providing valuable insights into the animal kingdom. The image portrays the full length of this rodent, emphasizing its distinct features and characteristics. The black rat, also known as Rattus rattus, holds great significance as it is famously recognized as a vector for spreading the Plague. This engraving serves as a reminder of the impact these creatures had on human history. Set indoors with no people present, the illustration beautifully captures two animals - one trapped and another observing from afar. The meticulous details showcased through this engraved image highlight both artistic skill and scientific accuracy. With its horizontal composition and timeless appeal, this photograph print transports us back to 1838 when naturalists were deeply fascinated by animal themes. It offers an opportunity to appreciate how far our understanding has evolved since then while acknowledging that even today rodents continue to play important roles within ecosystems
