EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century, titled "Rats following an Army" offers a fascinating glimpse into the intelligence of animals. The print, part of a private collection, showcases the intricate processes that occur within the minds of these clever creatures. The image depicts a group of rats diligently following an army, their tiny brains working in unison to navigate and adapt to their surroundings. With thoughtfulness and cunning, they keep pace with the troops as they march forward. The artist's portrayal emphasizes not only the physical presence of these rodents but also their human-like thinking abilities. It is evident that these rats possess a level of intelligence that goes beyond mere instinct. Their ability to strategize and problem-solve mirrors that of humans on a battlefield. Intriguingly, this engraving was originally created as an illustration for "The Intelligence of Animals" by Ernest Menault. Published in 1872, this work explores various aspects of animal cognition and behavior. Through this artwork, we are reminded that intelligence can be found in unexpected places - even among seemingly insignificant creatures like rats. Bridgeman Images has digitally cleaned and preserved this remarkable piece for us to appreciate today. As we gaze upon it, we are invited to contemplate the vast capabilities hidden within animal minds and marvel at nature's boundless wonders.
