EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured lithograph depicts a Roe deer, Capreolus capreolus, a native of Europe and Asia. The deer is shown in its natural habitat, surrounded by lush vegetation and a serene forest environment. The illustration is based on an original work by the skilled artist James Stewart and was produced as part of Georg Friedrich Treitschke's renowned "Gallery of Natural History," published in Leipzig in 1840. The Roe deer, also known as the red deer of Europe, is a medium-sized deer species, with a body length of 120-150 cm and a shoulder height of 70-90 cm. They are characterized by their distinctive reddish-brown coat, which helps them blend seamlessly into their woodland surroundings. Roe deer are herbivores, feeding on a variety of vegetation, including leaves, twigs, and shoots. The Roe deer is an agile and elusive creature, known for its ability to move quietly through the forest. They are solitary animals, with males and females living separately except during the mating season. Does give birth to one or two fawns per year, which are born spotted and completely helpless. The fawns are able to follow their mother after a few hours and are weaned after a few months. This beautiful illustration provides a glimpse into the natural history of the Roe deer, showcasing its grace and beauty in its native habitat. The intricate details and vibrant colours bring the deer to life, making it a true work of art that can be appreciated for its naturalistic depiction and historical significance.
