EDITORS COMMENTS
This aquatint print, titled "Striped hyena with animal carcass" transports us back to the early 19th century. Created by artist William Daniell, this artwork showcases a scene from the menagerie in the Exeter Exchange, London. In the center of the composition stands a majestic striped hyena, Hyaena hyaena, its distinctive markings contrasting against an exotic landscape adorned with palm trees and cacti. The hyena's attention is fixated on a skeletal animal carcass lying nearby, emphasizing its role as a scavenger in nature. Daniell's meticulous engraving technique brings out intricate details and textures throughout the print. Every stroke captures not only the physical features of both predator and prey but also their surroundings. The inclusion of this artwork in William Woods Zoography provides valuable insight into natural history during that era. It serves as a testament to scientific exploration and documentation prevalent at that time. As we admire this piece today, it offers us a glimpse into both British culture and European fascination with wildlife from far-off lands like Africa. This print reminds us of our enduring curiosity about different species and our desire to understand them through artistry and scientific methods. Overall, "Striped hyena with animal carcass" is an exquisite example of 19th-century artistry combined with natural history exploration—a timeless reminder of humanity's ongoing quest for knowledge about our world's diverse fauna.
