Plate 207 (310) Elephant D Aise: A Striking Illustration of the Asian Elephant (Elephas maximus) from the Historic 'Histoire Naturelle des Mammifères' by Etienne Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire and Baron Georges L. C. Frederic Dagobert Cuvier This lithograph, titled "Elephant D Aise," is an exquisite representation of the Asian elephant (Elephas maximus), one of the largest living mammals on Earth. The image is taken from the esteemed 'Histoire Naturelle des Mammifères,' a comprehensive work on the natural history of mammals authored by the renowned French naturalists Etienne Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire and Baron Georges L. C. Frederic Dagobert Cuvier, published between 1819 and 1842. The Asian elephant, also known as Elephas maximus or Asian elephantidae, is the largest living Asian mammal and the second largest living proboscidean after the African elephant. Native to the Asian continent, this majestic creature is characterized by its long, curved tusks, large ears, and distinctive, rounded back. In this illustration, the elephant is depicted in a relaxed pose, with its trunk raised and its ears flapping gently in the breeze. Asian elephants are an endangered species, with populations declining due to habitat loss, poaching, and human-elephant conflict. This historic illustration serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving these magnificent creatures and their habitats for future generations. The 'Histoire Naturelle des Mammifères' was a groundbreaking work in the field of natural history, featuring meticulously detailed illustrations of various mammals, many of which were produced using the latest techniques in lithography. This image of the Asian elephant is a testament to the skill and expertise of the artists and naturalists involved in the project, and remains an invaluable resource for researchers and enthusiasts alike.
