EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured lithograph, titled "The African Lioness" takes us back to the late 19th century. Created by renowned artists Joseph Wolf and Joseph Smit, this print is a page from their remarkable work, "A Monograph of the Felidae, or Family of the Cats". The attention to detail in this artwork is truly breathtaking. In this close-up view, we see a majestic lioness lying down in the wild countryside. Her head turned away, she appears both protective and aversive at the same time. With her young cub nestled beside her for safety, she exudes strength and maternal instinct. The artist's skillful use of hand tinting brings out every nuance of color in this piece. From the vibrant green leaves surrounding them to the warm hues on their fur coats, it feels as though we are witnessing this scene firsthand. As we gaze upon this lithograph, we can almost hear the sounds of nature - perhaps a distant roar or rustling leaves carried by a gentle breeze. It transports us to a different time and place when these magnificent creatures roamed freely in their natural habitat. "The African Lioness" serves as an exquisite reminder of our connection with wildlife and our responsibility to protect these incredible animals for future generations.
