Hedgehog (with and without bristles)

There’s something wonderfully endearing about an antique hedgehog study — part scientific curiosity, part storybook creature. This 1775 Buffon illustration shows a hedgehog “with and without bristles”, a classic natural history way of documenting what’s normally hidden beneath the spines. It’s detailed, slightly quirky, and perfect for a cosy hallway, nursery with a vintage twist, or a gallery wall of animal curiosities and Victorian-style wildlife art.

This is an edited reproduction made from antique/public domain source imagery.
