EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunningly detailed and vibrant image showcases the power and majesty of the Jaguar or Yaguarete, Panthera onca, a large feline species native to the Americas. The photograph is taken from Felix de Azara's "Voyages dans l'Amérique Méridionale" (Journeys in Southern America), published in Milan in 1815. The engraving was created by Dell'Acqua and hand-colored by Lazaretti for Giovanni Battista Sonzogno's "Raccolta de Viaggi Piu Interessanti" (Collection of the Most Interesting Voyages). The Jaguar, also known as the American lion or the panther, is the largest cat species in the Americas. Known for its distinctive black spots on a yellowish-gold coat, this powerful predator is apex predator in its native habitats, which include forests, grasslands, and wetlands. The Jaguar's powerful jaws and sharp teeth enable it to crush the skulls of its prey, and its excellent vision and hearing make it a formidable hunter. The Jaguar has held great significance in the cultures and mythologies of the indigenous peoples of Central and South America for centuries. It is considered a sacred animal and a symbol of strength, power, and agility. This image captures the awe-inspiring presence of the Jaguar, a reminder of the natural wonders that once roamed the vast wildernesses of the New World.
