This print showcases the beauty and majesty of two fascinating hyena species, the Striped Hyena and Spotted Hyena. Captured by William Smellie in the 19th century, this handcoloured copperplate engraving transports us to the Gardens of the Zoological Society, where these incredible creatures resided. The Striped Hyena, scientifically known as Hyaena hyaena, and its counterpart, Crocuta crocuta or Spotted Hyena, are depicted side by side in this stunning artwork. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring these animals to life on paper. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of nature's diversity and complexity. The contrasting patterns on their fur highlight their individuality while showcasing their shared lineage. These hyenas possess a unique blend of strength and grace that is truly awe-inspiring. William Smellie's translation of Count Georges Buffon's History of the Earth and Animated Nature allows us to appreciate not only these specific hyenas but also the wonders of our natural world as a whole. This piece serves as a testament to both scientific exploration and artistic expression. Whether you are an animal enthusiast or simply appreciate fine art photography, this print will undoubtedly captivate your imagination with its rich history and exquisite depiction of wildlife.
