EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration showcases the enigmatic figure of the Indian Rhinoceros, or Rhinoceros unicornis, as depicted in the Brian Hodgson Collection, circa 1850. The Indian Rhino, also known as the Greater One-Horned Rhino, is a large mammal belonging to the Perissodactyla order, specifically the Rhinocerotidae family. Hodgson's meticulous rendering highlights the animal's distinctive features, including its massive grey body, a single large horn protruding from its forehead, and its thick, armored skin. The Indian Rhino is an odd-toed ungulate, meaning it has only one toe on each foot, and is classified within the Epitheria and Eutheria subclasses of the Theria group, which includes placental mammals. This magnificent creature is native to the Indian subcontinent and is the largest of the three extant rhinoceros species. Brian Houghton Hodgson (1800-1894) was a British naturalist, zoologist, and explorer who made significant contributions to the scientific understanding of the natural world, particularly in the field of Indian zoology. His extensive collection of illustrations, including this one, provides valuable insights into the natural history of the Victorian era. This evocative image of the Indian Rhino serves as a testament to the rich biodiversity of the world during the 19th century and the invaluable role that natural history collections and their illustrations play in documenting and preserving our planet's natural heritage.
