EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning lithograph depicts Panthera leo senegalensis, also known as the West African Lion, as illustrated in Plate 45 (117) of Histoire Naturelle des Mammifères, published between 1819 and 1842. The work was a collaborative effort between renowned naturalists Etienne Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire and Baron Georges L.C.F. Dagobert Cuvier, with contributions from Nicholas Marechal. The West African Lion, a subspecies of the African Lion, is native to the savannas and grasslands of West Africa. This powerful and majestic big cat is a carnivore and a member of the Felidae family, order Carnivora, and class Mammalia. Its scientific name, Panthera leo senegalensis, reflects its taxonomic placement within the Feloidea suborder, Feliformia infraorder, and Eutheria superorder. The illustration captures the lion's distinctive features, including its muscular build, broad head, and distinctive mane. The artist has meticulously rendered every detail, from the intricate patterns on the lion's fur to the subtle textures of its skin. The natural setting of the illustration, with its lush vegetation and open savanna, further emphasizes the lion's role as a top predator in its ecosystem. Histoire Naturelle des Mammifères was a groundbreaking work in the field of natural history, featuring original drawings and lithographs to accurately depict various mammal species. The publication of this work marked a significant contribution to the scientific understanding of the natural world during the 18th and 19th centuries.
