EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored engraving on steel depicts the critically endangered Darwin's Fox (Lycalopex fulvipes), native to Chiloe Island in Chile. The image is a testament to the natural history exploration of the 19th century, drawn from life by Colonel Charles Hamilton Smith and published in Sir William Jardine's Naturalist's Library: Dogs, edited by William H. Lizars in Edinburgh in 1839. The Darwin's Fox, also known as the Chiloe Fox or Zorro, is a small, omnivorous mammal with a distinctive bushy tail and pointed ears. Once widespread across the southern coast of South America, this species is now critically endangered, with an estimated population of fewer than 1,000 individuals. Habitat loss, hunting, and competition with introduced species are the primary threats to their survival. This historical engraving, with its intricate details and vibrant colors, offers a glimpse into the past and highlights the importance of preserving the natural world. The Darwin's Fox, along with many other endangered species, serves as a reminder of the need for continued conservation efforts and the importance of documenting and studying the natural world for future generations. The rich history of this image is evident in the meticulous craftsmanship of the handcolored engraving, which captures the essence of the Darwin's Fox and showcases the dedication of naturalists and artists of the past to documenting the natural world. This beautiful and rare print is a testament to the enduring fascination with the natural world and the importance of preserving it for future generations.
