EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored copperplate engraving captures the beauty and vulnerability of the Endangered Indian elephant, Elephas maximus indicus. The female elephant is depicted tenderly suckling her young, emphasizing the strong maternal bond that exists within this majestic species.
Intriguingly, the image also features a mythical beast known as sukotyro (sucoontario), adding an element of mystery and fantasy to the composition. This juxtaposition of reality and mythology serves as a reminder of the rich tapestry of stories and legends that have been woven around these magnificent creatures throughout history.
Created by Friedrich Johann Bertuch for his Bilderbuch fur Kinder (Picture Book for Children) in 1802, this engraving showcases both artistic skill and scientific accuracy. It provides valuable insight into early natural history studies and zoological knowledge from that period.
As we gaze upon this enchanting scene, we are reminded of the importance of conservation efforts to protect endangered species like the Indian elephant. Through education and awareness, we can work together to ensure a future where these gentle giants continue to roam freely in their natural habitats.
This print is not just a beautiful piece of art but also a powerful symbol of our responsibility to safeguard Earth's precious biodiversity for generations to come.
