EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving showcases the Critically Endangered Screw-horn Antelope, Addax nasomaculatus. The antelope is depicted with its distinctive spiraled horns, which are twisted like screws, giving it its common name. The Addax is native to the arid regions of the Sahara Desert in North Africa. This illustration was created in 1837 as part of Jussieu's Dictionary of Natural Science, published in Florence, Italy by Batelli e Figli. The work was drawn and engraved by the skilled hands of Chiussone. The Addax antelope is critically endangered due to habitat loss and poaching. In the past, they were hunted for their meat, horns, and hides. Today, their population is estimated to be fewer than 300 individuals in the wild. This historical image serves as a reminder of the beauty and fragility of the natural world, and the importance of conservation efforts to protect endangered species. The intricate details of the engraving show the antelope's elegant features, from its slender legs to its expressive eyes. The use of handcolouring adds depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a stunning work of art as well as a valuable historical record. The antelope's surroundings are depicted with equal care, from the rocky terrain to the sparse vegetation, creating a sense of place and time. This engraving is a testament to the skill and artistry of the 19th century naturalists and illustrators, who dedicated themselves to documenting the natural world for future generations. It is a reminder of the rich history of scientific discovery and the importance of preserving the world's biodiversity for the future.
