EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored engraving depicts the Cape grysbok, scientifically known as Raphicerus melanotis rufescens, also referred to as the Vlakke steenbok or Antilope rufescens. The image is a meticulous representation of this small antelope species native to South Africa. The engraving was created by H. Kearsley based on an original illustration by Charles Hamilton Smith, who sketched the specimen housed in the British Museum. The Cape grysbok is a ruminant, belonging to the family Bovidae. It is characterized by its distinctive coat, which is a mix of brown and white fur, with a dark face and legs. This agile and elusive creature is well adapted to its natural habitat, which includes rocky and mountainous regions. The Cape grysbok is an important species in the natural history of South Africa. Its inclusion in Edward Griffiths' The Animal Kingdom by the Baron Cuvier, published in London by Whittaker in 1827, attests to its scientific significance during this period. The engraving provides a detailed and accurate record of the Cape grysbok's appearance, contributing to the growing body of knowledge about the natural world. The intricate details of the engraving, from the textured fur to the expressive eyes, showcase the skill and artistry of the engraver and the illustrator.
