EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning lithograph is Plate 62 from "The Viviparous Quadrupeds of North America," Volume 2, published in 1846 by renowned naturalists John James Audubon and John Bachman. The image features both a male and female Cervus elaphus, commonly known as red deer, but also referred to as American elk or wapiti. The male, with his impressive antlers, stands proudly on the left, while the graceful female, or doe, is depicted on the right. Audubon and Bachman's meticulous work captures the essence of these magnificent creatures, showcasing their intricate coats and distinctive features. The red deer is an even-toed ungulate, belonging to the family Cervidae, and the order Artiodactyla. They are native to Europe, Asia, and North America, and are the largest species within the Cervinae subfamily. The red deer is an herbivore, feeding on a variety of vegetation, including leaves, shoots, and bark. They are also known to be active during the day, making them diurnal animals. The male's antlers, which are shed and regrown annually, are used for mating displays and defense. This beautiful illustration, produced in the 19th century, is a testament to the natural world and the artistry of John James Audubon and John Bachman. Their work continues to inspire and educate, providing a glimpse into the natural history of North America during this time period.
