EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcolored engraving on steel depicts the Common Grey Wolf, Canis lupus, a magnificent and historically significant mammal. The image is taken from a drawing by Colonel Charles Hamilton Smith and published in Sir William Jardine's Naturalist's Library: Dogs, published by W.H. Lizars in Edinburgh in 1839. The Common Grey Wolf, also known as the timber wolf or gray wolf, is the largest extant member of the Canidae family. Native to Eurasia and North America, this powerful predator roamed widely in North America until the late 19th century when hunting and habitat loss led to a significant decline in population. Today, the grey wolf is making a comeback in many areas, and populations are thriving in parts of Europe, Asia, and North America. The engraving captures the wolf's distinctive features, including its elongated snout, piercing eyes, and bushy tail. The intricate details of the fur texture and the lifelike expression of the animal are a testament to the skill of the engraver and the quality of the printing process. This historical image is an important reminder of the natural history of the Common Grey Wolf and the role it played in shaping the ecosystems of the past. It also serves as a reminder of the importance of conservation efforts to protect this iconic species and preserve its place in the natural world.
