EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Black Wildebeest (Connochaetes gnou) and Pyrenean Chamois (Rupicapra pyrenaica) - A Natural Wonders Duo" This hand-colored copperplate stipple engraving, created in 1837, showcases two remarkable creatures of the natural world: the Black Wildebeest (Connochaetes gnou) and the Pyrenean Chamois (Rupicapra pyrenaica). The illustration, which is part of Antoine Jussieu's Dictionary of Natural Science, was produced in Florence, Italy. The Black Wildebeest, also known as the Black Gnu, is a large antelope species native to the African savannas. Known for their distinctive black coat and large, curved horns, these animals are powerful and agile, able to run at speeds up to 50 miles per hour. They are herbivores, feeding on a variety of vegetation, and are an essential part of the African ecosystem. In stark contrast to the Black Wildebeest, the Pyrenean Chamois is a small, agile mountain goat native to the Pyrenees Mountains, which straddle the border between France and Spain. These animals are well-adapted to their rocky, mountainous habitat, with curved, sharp hooves that allow them to climb steep slopes, and thick, woolly coats that protect them from the cold. They are primarily herbivores, feeding on a diet of grasses, leaves, and shoots. The intricately detailed illustration, created by Jean Gabriel Pretre and engraved by Luigi Giarre under the direction of Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin, provides a stunning representation of these two remarkable creatures. The use of hand-coloring adds depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a true masterpiece of natural history art. This engraving not only showcases the beauty and diversity of the natural world but also serves as a testament to the skill and artistry of the artists and engravers of the time.
