EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 19th century print depicts the elusive Asian Golden Cat, scientifically known as Catopuma temminckii, a felid species native to the forests of Asia. The image is taken from "A Monograph of the Felidae, or Family of the Cats," a seminal work by Daniel Giraud Elliot, published in 1833. The lithograph was expertly hand-colored by the skilled artists Joseph Wolf and Joseph Smit, resulting in a vibrant and lifelike representation of this enigmatic feline. The Asian Golden Cat is a medium-sized carnivore, with a golden-brown coat and distinctive black markings on its face and limbs. Once widespread across Asia, this elusive cat is now considered endangered due to habitat loss and fragmentation, poaching, and roadkills. The Asian Golden Cat is a solitary and secretive animal, primarily active during the day, making it a rare sight for most people. It is a member of the Felidae family, which also includes lions, tigers, and domestic cats. The Felidae are further classified as Feliformia, Feloidea, Felid, Felinae, and Eutheria. This beautiful print is a testament to the natural history artistry of the 19th century, providing a glimpse into the fascinating world of the Asian Golden Cat and its habitat. It serves as a reminder of the importance of conservation efforts to protect this and other endangered species and their habitats.
