EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the African civet, known scientifically as Civettictis civetta. The image captures the essence of this remarkable creature in all its glory. With its sleek and slender body, adorned with beautiful markings, the African civet exudes an air of elegance and mystique. The photograph takes us back to a bygone era when this majestic animal resided in the Gardens of the Zoological Society. Handcoloured with meticulous attention to detail, every stroke brings out the vibrant colors that adorn its fur. This copperplate engraving is a testament to William Smellie's translation of Count Georges Buffon's renowned work on natural history. As we gaze upon this piece of art, we are transported to 19th century Africa, where wildlife roamed freely across vast landscapes. The African civet stands tall amidst lush greenery and blossoming flowers, embodying grace and resilience. It serves as a reminder of our planet's rich biodiversity and encourages us to appreciate and protect these magnificent creatures for generations to come. This print is not just an exquisite piece for display; it is also a window into our natural world's past—a glimpse into a time when humans marveled at nature's wonders. Bridgeman Images has expertly captured this moment in time through their lens, allowing us all to admire the beauty that lies within our natural heritage.
