EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored copperplate engraving depicts the powerful and majestic Jaguar, Panthera onca, a Near Threatened species according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). The Jaguar is also known by its scientific synonyms Felis onca and P. onca. This exquisite illustration was created by the skilled hands of Harriet or Edward Griffith, based on an original drawing by Charles Hamilton Smith, and published in Edward Griffith's renowned work, "The Animal Kingdom" by the Baron Cuvier, in London by Whittaker in 1825. The Jaguar is the largest cat species in the Americas and is known for its distinctive black spots, which cover its muscular body. Once widespread throughout North and South America, the Jaguar's population has declined significantly due to habitat loss, fragmentation, and human-wildlife conflict. This beautiful engraving serves as a reminder of the natural history and zoological significance of this magnificent creature, which continues to face challenges in the modern world. The intricate details of the Jaguar's fur, muscles, and expressions are expertly captured in this engraving, showcasing the exceptional artistry of the time. The use of hand-coloring adds depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a true masterpiece of natural history illustration. This engraving is not only a work of art but also a valuable record of the Jaguar's appearance and status in the early 19th century, making it an essential addition to any collection of natural history or wildlife art.
