EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 216 (326) of the renowned "Histoire Naturelle des Mammifères" by Etienne Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire and Baron Georges L. C. Frederic Dagobert Cuvier, features an exquisite lithograph of the Bactrian Camel, Camelus bactrianus, also known as the two-humped camel. This illustration, titled "Le Chameau," was published between 1819 and 1842, showcasing the natural history of mammals through original drawings. The Bactrian Camel, native to the deserts of Central Asia, is easily distinguished from its Arabian counterpart by the presence of two humps on its back. These humps, which are actually large deposits of fat, serve as vital energy sources during long periods of food scarcity. The animal's robust build, long legs, and shaggy coat are well-adapted to the harsh desert environment. This magnificent drawing, created during the 18th century, is an essential contribution to the scientific understanding of mammals during that time. The work of Cuvier and Saint-Hilaire, two pioneering naturalists, laid the foundation for the modern classification of mammals, placing them within the class Mammalia, order Artiodactyla, family Camelidae, and suborder Camelinae. The Bactrian Camel is an even-toed ungulate, belonging to the eutherian mammals, which are characterized by their mammary glands and the presence of a four-chambered heart. The Epitheria, a subclass of the Mammalia, includes the placental and marsupial mammals. This illustration not only represents a significant piece of natural history but also showcases the intricate details and artistic skill of the time. The meticulous rendering of the Bactrian Camel's anatomy, combined with the rich textures and textures of its coat, makes for a visually stunning representation of this remarkable desert dweller.
