EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving by Bradley, featured in Edward Griffiths' seminal work "The Animal Kingdom" by the Baron Cuvier, published in London by Whittaker in 1825, showcases two distinct subspecies of the Golden Jackal, Canis aureus. The Golden Jackal is a highly adaptable and widespread species of omnivorous canid, native to Europe, Asia, and Africa. In this image, the Golden Jackal (Canis aureus) is depicted on the left, with its characteristic golden-yellow coat, pointed ears, and bushy tail. The Senegalese Jackal, or Senegal Jackal (Canis aureus anthus), is shown on the right. This subspecies, also known as the Side-striped Jackal or Chacal and Chacal of Senegal, is native to the arid regions of North and West Africa. The Senegalese Jackal is distinguished by its side-stripes, which run from the shoulders down to the legs, and its lighter coat, which is more sandy in colour than the Golden Jackal. The intricate details of the engraving bring out the unique features of each subspecies, highlighting their similarities and differences. The meticulous handcolouring adds depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a beautiful addition to any natural history or zoology collection. Edward Griffiths' "The Animal Kingdom" was a groundbreaking work in the field of natural history, featuring accurate and detailed illustrations of a wide range of animals from around the world. The inclusion of the Golden Jackal and Senegalese Jackal in this publication underscores the importance of these species in the natural world and the fascination they held for naturalists and collectors of the time.
