EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic American bison, also known as buffalo, in all its glory. The artwork, created by William Smellie in the 19th century, depicts a scene from the Gardens of the Zoological Society. Handcoloured and engraved by J. Webb, this copperplate engraving is a testament to both artistic skill and scientific exploration. The American bison stands tall against a backdrop of lush greenery, exuding strength and resilience. Its massive frame commands attention while its rich brown fur catches the light with every brushstroke. This magnificent creature symbolizes the untamed wilderness of North America and serves as a reminder of our connection to nature's wonders. Smellie's translation of Count Georges Buffon's History of the Earth and Animated Nature brings forth an educational aspect to this artwork. It not only captures the beauty of wildlife but also highlights their importance within our natural world. As we gaze upon this print today, we are transported back in time to witness an era when these creatures roamed freely across vast plains. Through intricate detailing and vibrant colors, we can almost hear their thundering hooves echoing through history. Bridgeman Images has preserved this piece for us to appreciate and admire—an homage to both artistry and scientific discovery that continues to captivate audiences centuries later.
