About this piece

Two zoological lithographs of squirrels and related animals, c.1830, drawn by Karl Joseph Brodtmann after Heinrich Rudolf Schinz and numbered Pl. 100 and Pl. 101, from the Dutch edition of Schinz's natural history of man and animals. The captions are in Dutch.

The first plate, Pl. 100, shows four squirrels on a branching tree, numbered to a key: "De grijze Eekhoorn" (the gray squirrel of North America), "De gemeene Eekhoorn" (the common or red squirrel), a third squirrel, and "De Braziliaansche Eekhoorn," the Brazilian squirrel. The second plate, Pl. 101, shows "De gestreepte aardeekhoorn" with a nut in its paws, "De Virginische vliegende Eekhoorn" and "De Europeesche vliegende Eekhoorn" gliding with outstretched membranes, and, below, "De Madagascarsche Aï" and "De Marmot."

The plates mix species from several continents, and only some of them are American. They are drawn in soft gray lithographic tone against the plain paper, with each animal posed to show its coat and tail.
