EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 14: Maternal Courage, an illustration from The Life and Habits of Wild Animals, published in London in 1874, showcases a remarkable display of maternal protection. In this engraving by Joseph Wolf, an eagle, a bird of prey from the Accipitriformes order, is seen attacking a deer, a member of the Cervidae family and an Artiodactyl, or even-toed ungulate. The mother deer stands her ground, her body shielding her fawn, a young and vulnerable member of the Placental Mammal and Eutherian group, from the predator's grasp. This scene encapsulates the depth of maternal love and courage, as the mother puts herself in harm's way to protect her offspring. The Sauropsida, or reptile-descended, eagle, with its sharp talons and piercing gaze, embodies the threat posed by predators in the natural world. The contrast between the two creatures highlights the delicate balance of life and the instinctive drive for survival. This historical illustration, part of the rich natural history legacy of the 19th century, continues to inspire awe and admiration for the natural world and the resilience of life.
