EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Passions from Johann Caspar Lavaters Physiognomy," showcases a series of emotional expressions depicted on the face of a majestic roe deer or capreolus, a species of European mammal commonly known as a roebuck. The image is taken from William Smellie's translation of Count Georges Buffon's "History of the Earth and Animated Nature," published in London in 1829 by Thomas Kelly. The roe deer in this print is presented in a serene garden setting, surrounded by lush greenery, adding to the tranquil atmosphere. However, the deer's facial expressions convey a range of intense emotions, each one meticulously hand-colored and engraved with remarkable detail. The first emotion depicted is Sadness, where the deer's eyes are filled with tears, and its mouth is slightly open, as if in quiet mourning. Next, we see Compassion, where the deer's eyes are full of empathy, and its expression is gentle and caring. The print then progresses to Scorn, where the deer's lips are turned down in contempt, and its eyes are narrowed in disdain. Horror or Fright is shown next, with the deer's eyes wide open in terror, and its ears laid back against its head. Anger is depicted with the deer's mouth open in a snarl, and its eyes burning with intensity. The final emotion, Hatred or Jealousy, is portrayed with the deer's eyes fixed on an unseen rival, its ears flat against its head, and its mouth open in a snarl. Despair is the final emotion shown, with the deer's head bowed low, and its eyes filled with hopelessness. This remarkable print is a testament to the artistry of the time, demonstrating the European fascination with physiognomy, or the study of facial expressions and their supposed correlation to personality traits. The intricate detail and emotional depth captured in this print make it a valuable addition to any collection of natural history or zoological art.
