EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 74 from Recherches pour servir à l'histoire naturelle des Mammifères, Vols. 1-4 (1868-74) by Drs. Henri Milne-Edwards (1800-1885) and Alphonse Milne-Edwards (1835-1900) is a stunning nineteenth-century illustration of the Bovidae family, a large and diverse group of even-toed ungulates, also known as antelopes, goats, and sheep. This natural history observation features a single animal from the Caprinae subfamily, which includes goats and sheep. The animal is depicted with intricate detail, showcasing its distinctive features, such as its curved horns, elongated ears, and slender build. The Milne-Edwards brothers were prominent French naturalists and zoologists who dedicated their lives to the study and documentation of the natural world. Their multi-volume work, Recherches pour servir à l'histoire naturelle des Mammifères, is considered a seminal contribution to the field of mammalogy. The illustrations, produced during the height of the Victorian era, reflect the meticulous attention to detail and scientific accuracy that characterized the natural history observations of the time. The Bovidae family, which includes over 150 species, is an essential component of the Artiodactyla order, which also includes pigs, deer, and camels. The family is further divided into various subfamilies, including the Caprinae, Antilopinae, and Bovinae, among others. The Caprinae subfamily, to which the illustrated animal belongs, is characterized by its members' ability to climb steep terrain and their distinctive horns. This beautiful illustration is a testament to the brothers' dedication to documenting the natural world and their exceptional artistic skills. It provides a glimpse into the past, offering a window into the natural history observations of the nineteenth century and the rich biodiversity of the Bovidae family.
