EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic Nilgai or blue bull, Boselaphus tragocamelus, in all its glory. Captured by the talented photographer Smellie, William (1697-1763), this image transports us to the Gardens of the Zoological Society where this magnificent antelope roams freely. The handcoloured copperplate engraving brings out every intricate detail of this male Nilgai's features. Its striking blue-gray coat contrasts beautifully with its white underbelly and black-tipped ears. The animal's powerful build and regal posture exude an air of strength and grace. As we admire this artwork, we are reminded of Count Georges Buffon's renowned work on natural history. This particular illustration comes from William Smellie's translation of Buffon's "History of the Earth and Animated Nature". Published in London in 1829 by Thomas Kelly, it serves as a testament to humanity's fascination with the wonders of our planet. Bridgeman Images has expertly preserved this historical gem for us to appreciate today. While we cannot help but marvel at the sheer beauty captured within this print, let us also reflect on our responsibility towards these incredible creatures who share our world. May their existence continue to inspire awe and remind us of nature's enduring splendor.
