EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured engraving depicts a domestic water buffalo, scientifically known as Bubalus bubalus, in its natural setting. The water buffalo, also referred to as the Pulo Condor buffalo or Bos bubalus, is a large and powerful bovid species that is native to South Asia and is widely domesticated for agricultural purposes. The image, which is taken from Edward Griffiths' "The Animal Kingdom" by the Baron Cuvier, published in London by Whittaker in 1827, was created by the skilled hand of Charles Hamilton Smith. The meticulous attention to detail in the engraving is evident in the intricate textures and patterns of the buffalo's coat, as well as the delicate shading that brings the animal to life. Water buffalo are semi-aquatic animals that thrive in marshy areas and near bodies of water. They are social animals that live in large herds and are known for their strength and endurance. They are also important in many cultures, particularly in Southeast Asia, where they are used for agriculture, transportation, and meat production. The natural history of the water buffalo has been a subject of interest for naturalists and scientists for centuries. The engraving is an elegant representation of this fascinating animal, capturing its power and grace in a work of art that has stood the test of time. The intricate details and beautiful colors of the handcoloured engraving make it a valuable addition to any collection of natural history or zoology.
