EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcolored copperplate stipple engraving depicts an Indian elephant, Elephas maximus indicus, from Frederic Cuvier's "Dictionary of Natural Science: Mammals," published in Paris, France, in 1816. The illustration was created by Jean Gabriel Pretre, a painter of natural history at Empress Josephine's zoo and later the artist to the Museum of Natural History. The engraving was executed by J. J. Joyeau, directed by Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin, and published by F.G. Levrault. The Indian elephant, also known as the Asian elephant, is the largest living terrestrial animal in India and Sri Lanka. With their distinctive curved tusks and large ears, these magnificent creatures are a symbol of power and wisdom in Indian culture. However, this species is currently classified as endangered due to habitat loss, poaching, and human-elephant conflict. In contrast, the African bush elephant, Loxodonta africana, depicted in the background, is the largest living terrestrial animal in Africa. With their straight tusks and larger ears, they are easily distinguished from their Asian counterparts. The African bush elephant is currently classified as vulnerable due to habitat loss and poaching for their ivory tusks. This beautiful engraving is a testament to the natural history artistry of the early 19th century, capturing the essence of these magnificent creatures and their importance in their respective ecosystems. It is a reminder of the need for continued conservation efforts to protect these endangered and vulnerable species and preserve their habitats for future generations to enjoy.
