EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 19th century lithograph depicts the Bay Cat, scientifically known as Felis badia, also referred to as Catopuma badia. The Bay Cat is a small wild cat species native to Asia, specifically Borneo and Sumatra. This image is taken from A Monograph of the Felidae, or Family of the Cats, an influential work by Daniel Giraud Elliot published in 1833. The lithograph was expertly hand-colored by Joseph Wolf and Joseph Smit, adding vibrant detail to the already intricate artwork. The Bay Cat is a carnivorous feline, belonging to the Felidae family, Feloidea suborder, and Felinae subfamily. Its geomorphology is adapted for its daytime hunting habits, with a slender body, long tail, and distinctive spotted coat. The Bay Cat is a solitary and elusive creature, preferring to inhabit dense forests and swampy areas. This beautiful print offers a glimpse into the natural history of this fascinating felid species. Elliot's Monograph was a groundbreaking work in its time, providing a detailed and accurate record of the various cat species known at the time. The inclusion of high-quality illustrations, such as this one, made the work an essential reference for both scientific research and conservation efforts. The Bay Cat remains an important species of Bornean biodiversity, and efforts to protect its habitat and populations continue to be a priority for conservation organizations. This image serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving the world's diverse wildlife and the role that scientific research and documentation plays in achieving that goal.
