EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century print showcases the majestic Jaguar, Panthera onca (Felis onca), in all its glory. Handcoloured with meticulous detail, this steel engraving by Joseph Kidd after an illustration by Alexander Forbes is a true work of art. The image comes from William Rhind's renowned publication, "The Miscellany of Natural History: Feline Species" edited by Sir Thomas Dick Lauder and published by Fraser & Co. in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1834. In this stunning depiction, the powerful big cat takes center stage as it prowls through its natural habitat. Its sleek fur glistens under the sunlight while its piercing eyes exude both grace and intensity. With every stroke of Kidd's handcoloured technique, the intricate patterns and textures come to life, capturing the essence of this magnificent creature. The jaguar symbolizes strength and stealth as one of nature's most formidable predators. As a carnivorous quadruped, it possesses unparalleled hunting skills that have made it a feared predator throughout history. This zoological illustration not only celebrates the beauty of feline species but also serves as a testament to their vital role within our ecosystem. Alexander Forbes' original artwork has been masterfully transformed into this enduring piece that continues to captivate viewers centuries later. It transports us back to a time when scientific exploration was at its peak and provides us with an invaluable glimpse into our natural world's rich history. Alamy brings forth this remarkable print for enthusiasts who appreciate both artistry and zoology alike. Through preserving these historical treasures like this handcoloured steel engraving, we are reminded of our responsibility to protect these incredible creatures for generations to come.
