EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving, created by Russell after an illustration by Horace S. Smith, depicts a majestic Brahma breed of zebu cattle, scientifically known as Bos taurus indicus. The image is taken from William Smellie's translation of Count Georges Buffon's seminal work, "History of the Earth and Animated Nature," published by Thomas Kelly in London in 1829. The Brahma breed, native to India, is distinguished by its large size, massive build, and distinctive hump on its shoulders. The animal in this engraving is shown in a serene setting, surrounded by lush greenery and water, reminiscent of the gardens of the Zoological Society. The contrast between the black body of the Brahma bull and its white, wildebeest-like tail adds to its striking appearance. The Brahma breed is closely related to other zebu cattle, such as the Guzerat, Nellore, and Krishna Valley breeds. They are adapted to hot and humid climates and are highly valued for their strength, endurance, and resistance to diseases. The Brahma breed has been an essential part of agricultural communities in India for centuries, providing milk, meat, and labor. This beautiful engraving is a testament to the artistry and scientific curiosity of the time, showcasing the Brahma breed in its natural splendor. It offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the natural history of the Brahma breed and the world around it.
