EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 18th century illustration depicts the Serval (Leptailurus serval), a beautiful and elusive wild cat native to Africa. The painting was created by George Forster during Captain James Cook's second voyage of discovery, which took place between 1772 and 1775. Forster, a naturalist and the son of the expedition's official scientist Johann Georg Adam Forster, skillfully captured the Serval's distinctive spotted coat and elegant form in this work. The Serval is a member of the Felidae family, also known as the big cats, and is characterized by its long legs, large ears, and distinctive spotted pattern. This nocturnal carnivore is well adapted to hunting in the savannas and grasslands of sub-Saharan Africa, using its exceptional vision and agility to stalk and pounce on prey. This illustration is a testament to the spirit of adventure and exploration that defined the 18th century. Captain Cook's voyages of discovery opened up new worlds and expanded our understanding of the natural world. Forster's meticulous observations and illustrations were instrumental in documenting the diverse range of species encountered during these expeditions. The Serval, also known as the Himalayan Serval or the African Serval, is a fascinating creature that continues to captivate us with its beauty and mystery. This illustration provides a glimpse into the past, offering a window into the natural history of this remarkable feline and the world of discovery that surrounds it.
