EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored lithograph, taken from Carl Hoffmann's "Book of the World" published in Stuttgart in 1848, showcases three magnificent American big cats: the Puma or Cougar (Felis concolor, left), Ocelot (Felis pardalis, center), and Jaguar (Felis onca, right). The image is a testament to the rich natural history knowledge of the 19th century. The Puma, also known as the cougar or mountain lion, is the largest feline in the Americas. With its powerful build and striking coat, it is a formidable predator. The Ocelot, a smaller wild cat, is renowned for its beautiful spotted coat. The Jaguar, the largest cat in the Americas, is easily recognized by its distinctive black spots, or rosettes, and powerful jaws. The vignette in the background adds an intriguing layer to the image, depicting hunters with rifles and dogs. This scene may suggest that the cats are being hunted, a common practice during the time when such exotic animals were highly sought after for their pelts. The inclusion of the hunters and their dogs emphasizes the contrast between the wild beauty of the cats and the human desire to possess them. This educational picture, with its intricate details and vibrant colors, offers a glimpse into the natural history of the past and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving the diverse wildlife of our world.
