EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 19th century illustration showcases Felis silvestris catus, commonly known as the domestic cat (Felis domestica), in its natural daytime habitat. The captivating image is taken from "A Monograph of the Felidae, or Family of the Cats," a comprehensive work authored by Daniel Giraud Elliot and published in 1833. The illustration was masterfully created as one of 43 hand-coloured lithographs by renowned artists Joseph Wolf (1820-1899) and Joseph Smit (1836-1929). The Felidae family, to which both the domestic and wild cats belong, is a part of the larger order Carnivora. Felis silvestris catus, also known as Felis catus, is a subspecies of the larger Felis silvestris, which includes both wild and domestic cats. The domestic cat is a descendant of the African wildcat, Felis lybica, and has been domesticated for thousands of years. In this illustration, we see a sleek, agile, and elegant feline perched on the steps of a quaint house. The cat's piercing eyes, alert ears, and arched back convey a sense of curiosity and readiness. The intricate details of the cat's fur, the texture of the house's wooden steps, and the surrounding foliage are all rendered with remarkable precision and artistry. As a testament to the advanced scientific knowledge and artistic prowess of the 19th century, this illustration offers a fascinating glimpse into the natural history of one of the most beloved and domesticated animals in the world. The image invites us to appreciate the beauty and grace of Felis silvestris catus, both as a wild creature and as a cherished companion in our daily lives.
