EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcolored copperplate engraving depicts a Little Indian Buffalo, also known as the Craig's Buffalo or the Indian Shorthorn, represented in its natural habitat. The Little Indian Buffalo, scientifically known as Bos indicus, is a domesticated breed of buffalo native to the Indian subcontinent. This illustration is taken from The Naturalist's Pocket Magazine; or, Complete Cabinet of the Curiosities and Beauties of Nature, published by Harrison in London between 1798 and 1802. The engraving was most likely produced under the supervision of renowned naturalist George Edwards. The image captures the Little Indian Buffalo in its vibrant and intricate detail. The animal's coat is depicted in rich, earthy tones, with the prominent hump on its shoulders and the distinctive, curved horns adorned with intricate patterns. The buffalo's powerful build and determined expression convey its strength and resilience. The background of the engraving features a lush, green landscape, with trees and foliage adding depth and texture to the scene. This illustration serves as a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship of the engravers and the dedication of naturalists during the late 18th century to document and preserve the natural world. The Little Indian Buffalo, though now a rare sight in its native lands, continues to be an important part of agricultural and cultural traditions in India and other parts of South Asia. This image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when the wonders of nature were a source of endless fascination and inspiration.
