EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcolored copperplate stipple engraving, published by F.G. Levrault in Paris, France, in 1816, showcases two distinct species of hyenas: the striped hyena, Hyaena hyaena, and the spotted hyena, Crocuta crocuta. The illustration was created by Jean Gabriel Pretre, a painter of natural history at Empress Josephine's zoo, and later became the artist to the Museum of Natural History. The striped hyena, depicted on the left, is characterized by its distinctive striped pattern on its back and legs. Its face is relatively small and round, with a short snout and small, pointed ears. The spotted hyena, shown on the right, is easily recognizable by its large, powerful jaws and distinctive spotted coat. Its face is longer and more elongated than that of the striped hyena, with larger, more pointed ears. Stipple engraving is a technique that involves creating an image by applying tiny dots of ink to a copper plate, resulting in a textured and detailed appearance. This particular engraving was directed by Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin and engraved by Carnonkel. This beautiful and historically significant illustration is a testament to the meticulous work of naturalists and artists during the early 19th century, who dedicated themselves to documenting the natural world in exquisite detail. It is a valuable resource for zoologists and historians, providing insights into the natural history of these fascinating animals and the methods used to study them over 200 years ago.
