EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely handcolored copperplate engraving showcases four distinct species of deer native to Asia: the Spotted Axis (Axis axis), also known as the Spotted Deer or Chital, and the Cheetal or Indian Spotted Deer (Axis axis var. macropus). Both the Spotted Axis and Cheetal are characterized by their distinctive spotted coats, which provide excellent camouflage in their forest habitats. The Spotted Axis, native to the Indian subcontinent, is a medium-sized deer with a body length of up to 1.8 meters (6 feet) and a weight of up to 68 kilograms (150 pounds). They are herbivores and graze on a variety of vegetation, including grasses, leaves, and shoots. They are social animals and form herds, which are led by a dominant male. The Cheetal, on the other hand, is slightly smaller than the Spotted Axis, with a body length of up to 1.5 meters (5 feet) and a weight of up to 50 kilograms (110 pounds). They are found primarily in the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia. They are also herbivores and prefer to live in dense forests near water sources. The engraving also depicts a Cervus species, likely a Red Deer (Cervus elaphus), which is not native to Asia but is commonly found in Europe and Asia. The Red Deer is the largest of all European deer species, with a body length of up to 2 meters (6.6 feet) and a weight of up to 250 kilograms (550 pounds). They are browsers and feed on a variety of vegetation, including leaves, shoots, and fruits. This stunning illustration is 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. The illustration is a testament to the natural history fascination of the time and the meticulous attention to detail of the naturalists and artists of the era.
