EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a magnificent Cougar, also known as Puma concolor, in all its glory. Created in 1834 by William Alexander Forbes, this engraving is a true masterpiece of natural history art. Handcoloured with precision and attention to detail by Joseph Kidd, the image captures the essence of this endangered animal. The Cougar's powerful presence is palpable as it gazes directly at the viewer. Its sleek fur and piercing eyes are beautifully depicted through the medium of steel engraving. This artwork was originally published in "The Miscellany of Natural History: Feline Species" edited by Sir Thomas Dick Lauder. As we delve into the rich history behind this piece, we are transported back to 19th century Great Britain. The engraving serves not only as an artistic representation but also as a scientific record of one of nature's most fascinating creatures. In today's world, where wildlife conservation has become increasingly important, this print reminds us of the beauty and fragility of our planet's biodiversity. It serves as a poignant reminder that big cats like Cougars are endangered species that need our protection. This print from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate both the artistic skill involved in creating such engravings and the importance of preserving these incredible animals for future generations to admire and cherish.
