EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored engraving on steel depicts the Senegalese Jackal, Canis aureus anthus, a fascinating mammal native to the African continent. The image is taken from a drawing by the renowned Colonel Charles Hamilton Smith, which was published as part of Sir William Jardine's Naturalist's Library: Dogs, produced by W.H. Lizars in Edinburgh in 1839. The Senegalese Jackal, also known as the Tinker Dog or the African Golden Jackal, is a medium-sized canid with a golden-yellow coat, black-tipped ears, and a bushy tail. This agile and adaptable animal is found throughout Africa, from Senegal in the west to Ethiopia in the east, and from the Mediterranean coast to the southern tip of the continent. The Senegalese Jackal is an omnivore, feeding on a variety of foods, including rodents, birds, reptiles, fruit, and vegetables. They are also known to scavenge and have been observed following human settlements and camps to take advantage of discarded food. This engraving is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and artistic skill of the time. The intricate lines and vibrant colors bring the Senegalese Jackal to life, providing a glimpse into the natural history of this intriguing animal. The image also serves as a reminder of the rich legacy of natural history illustration, which continues to inspire and inform our understanding of the natural world today.
