EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 19th century illustration showcases the enigmatic Flat-headed Cat, or Prionailurus planiceps, a unique member of the Felidae, or cat family. The captivating print is taken from A Monograph of the Felidae, or Family of the Cats, published in 1833 by Daniel Giraud Elliot. The illustration was expertly hand-colored by skilled artists Joseph Wolf and Joseph Smit, resulting in a vivid and lifelike representation of this elusive feline. The Flat-headed Cat, also known as the Marsh Cat or the River Cat, is native to the wetlands of Southeast Asia. Contrary to its name, this cat does not have a truly flat head, but rather a distinctive, broad skull and short, rounded snout, which are well-adapted to its semi-aquatic lifestyle. This carnivorous mammal is a member of the Feliformia, or cat-like mammals, and the Feloidea, or cat-like superfamily. The Flat-headed Cat is a fascinating creature, spending most of its daytime hours in the water, hunting for fish and other aquatic prey. Its webbed paws and excellent swimming abilities make it a skilled and efficient hunter in its wetland habitat. This illustration provides a glimpse into the natural history of this intriguing mammal, offering a glimpse into the diverse and fascinating world of the Felidae. Daniel Giraud Elliot was an American naturalist and zoologist, who made significant contributions to the scientific understanding of the Felidae. His meticulously researched monograph, A Monograph of the Felidae, remains an important reference work in the field of felid taxonomy and systematics. The illustrations, produced by the skilled hands of Joseph Wolf and Joseph Smit, add to the scientific and aesthetic value of this groundbreaking work.
