EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely hand-colored engraving showcases the Tibetan Red Deer, Cervus canadensis wallichi, also known as the Nepal Stag or Wapiti Shou. This magnificent creature is a subspecies of the common Wapiti, native to the high altitude forests of the Himalayas, primarily in Tibet and Nepal. The Tibetan Red Deer is an endangered species, with populations estimated to number fewer than 10,000 individuals. Their numbers have declined significantly due to habitat loss, poaching, and human disturbance. This stunning illustration is based on an Indian drawing from Edward Griffiths' "The Animal Kingdom" by the Baron Cuvier, published in London by Whittaker in 1827. The illustration was created by the skilled hands of Thomas Landseer, with engravings by Charles Hamilton Smith. The Tibetan Red Deer is a large ruminant, with males reaching up to 1.8 meters in length and weighing up to 300 kilograms. They are characterized by their distinctive red-brown coat, which helps them blend in with their mountainous habitat. Their antlers, which are shed annually, can reach up to 1.2 meters in length and are a source of pride for the males during the mating season. The conservation of the Tibetan Red Deer is crucial for maintaining biodiversity in the Himalayas and for the preservation of the unique ecosystems that support them. Efforts are being made by various organizations to protect their habitats and reduce poaching, including the creation of wildlife sanctuaries and community-based conservation programs. This beautiful engraving serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving the natural world and the unique creatures that inhabit it. Let us all do our part to ensure that future generations can marvel at the beauty and majesty of the Tibetan Red Deer and other endangered species.
