EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored copperplate engraving showcases the enigmatic Abyssinian hyena, Hyaena aethiopicus, as it was depicted in the early 19th century. The Abyssinian hyena, also known as the spotted hyena in some regions, is the largest and most widespread of the three hyena species. Native to Africa, they are renowned for their distinctive spotted coats and unique, laugh-like vocalizations. This illustration, taken from The Naturalist's Pocket Magazine; or, Complete Cabinet of the Curiosities and Beauties of Nature, published by Harrison in London between 1798 and 1802, offers a fascinating glimpse into the natural history of the Abyssinian hyena during a time when European exploration and documentation of the natural world was in its infancy. The meticulous attention to detail in the engraving, from the intricate patterns of the hyena's fur to the lifelike expression in its eyes, underscores the importance of natural history illustrations in the scientific community during this period. The Naturalist's Pocket Magazine was a popular publication that aimed to bring the wonders of the natural world to a wider audience, and the inclusion of the Abyssinian hyena reflects the growing interest in the study of African wildlife during this time. Scottish explorer James Bruce, who is believed to have provided the original description and specimens for this illustration, was a pioneer in the field of African exploration and is credited with being the first European to reach the source of the Blue Nile. His observations and discoveries, including those of the Abyssinian hyena, contributed significantly to the expanding knowledge of the natural world during the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
