EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcolored copperplate stipple engraving is an exquisite representation of two magnificent creatures of the animal kingdom: the Water Buffalo, Bubalus bubalis, and the extinct Aurochs, Bos urus. The illustration is taken from Frederic Cuvier's Dictionary of Natural Science: Mammals, published in Paris, France, in 1816. The Water Buffalo, also known as the Asian Water Buffalo, is depicted on the left side of the image. It is a large and powerful bovid, native to South and Southeast Asia, and is well adapted to living in and around water. On the right side of the engraving, the extinct Aurochs, the largest wild ox in Europe, is depicted. This majestic animal, which once roamed the European forests, was hunted to extinction by the late 1600s. The Aurochs was a massive creature, with a large, curved horns and a muscular build. The illustration was created by Jean Gabriel Pretre, a painter of natural history at Empress Josephine's zoo, and later became the artist to the Museum of Natural History in Paris. The engraving was executed by Boquet the elder, under the direction of Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin, and published by F.G. Levrault. The intricate details of the animals' anatomy, textures, and colors are beautifully rendered in this historical work of art. The use of handcoloring adds depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a true masterpiece of zoological illustration in the early 19th century.
