EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a vulnerable Sloth bear, known scientifically as Melursus ursinus. The image captures the essence of this magnificent creature in all its glory. With its distinctive features and endearing expression, the sloth bear's vulnerability is evident. The photograph was taken by William Smellie (1697-1763), an acclaimed artist whose work focused on capturing the beauty of nature. Handcoloured and engraved on copperplate by W. Panormo after an illustration by W. Berthoud, this print is a true masterpiece. The setting for this enchanting scene is none other than the Gardens of the Zoological Society, where animals from around the world find refuge and protection. This particular sloth bear has found solace within these gardens, becoming part of their rich tapestry. William Smellie's translation of Count Georges Buffon's History of the Earth and Animated Nature serves as inspiration for this stunning artwork. Published in London in 1829 by Thomas Kelly, it offers a glimpse into our planet's natural history through vivid illustrations like this one. Florilegius brings us this exceptional print from Fine Art Finder, allowing us to appreciate both its artistic value and educational significance without commercial intent or mention thereof.
