EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Lion and Tiger, Endangered" takes us back to the year 1774. Created by the talented French draftsman and engraver Francois Nicolas Martinet, this print showcases his exceptional attention to detail. The image depicts a lion and a tiger side by side, both majestic creatures that were already facing endangerment even in the 18th century. The copperplate engraving was skillfully executed by Antonio Baratti after Martinet's original work for Denis Diderot and Jean le Rond d'Alembert's Encyclopedie, Histoire Naturelle. As we gaze upon this piece of art, we are reminded of the importance of preserving wildlife animals for future generations. The lion (Panthera leo) and tiger (Panthera tigris) symbolize strength, power, and grace but also vulnerability due to human activities threatening their habitats. This historic print not only serves as an artistic masterpiece but also as a valuable scientific resource from the era of natural history exploration. It reflects the advancements made in zoology during that time period when scientists sought to understand these magnificent creatures better. Displayed against a simple backdrop with no distractions, this engraving allows us to appreciate every intricate line etched onto paper. Its timeless appeal continues to captivate viewers today while serving as a reminder of our responsibility towards protecting endangered species worldwide.
