EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 21 from Recherches pour servir à l'histoire naturelle des Mammifères, Vols. 1-4 (1868-74) by Dr. Henri Milne-Edwards (1800-1885) and Dr. Alphonse Milne-Edwards (1835-1905) presents a stunning illustration of the Cervus xanthopygus, or the Eastern Elk, also known as the Cervus canadensis xanthopygus. This elk subspecies was native to Eastern Asia and is depicted in this exquisite 19th-century drawing. The Milne-Edwards brothers were prominent French naturalists and zoologists who dedicated their lives to the study and documentation of various animal species. Their work, Recherches pour servir à l'histoire naturelle des Mammifères, was a comprehensive contribution to the field of mammalogy, featuring meticulously detailed illustrations of various species. The Cervus xanthopygus is an even-toed ungulate, belonging to the Artiodactyla order and the Cervidae family. Its distinctive features include its large, palmate antlers and the yellowish-brown coloration on its rump and flanks. This elk subspecies was once widespread across Eastern Asia, ranging from Manchuria to Korea and Japan. However, it is now considered extinct, with the last confirmed sighting in 1868. This beautiful illustration not only serves as a testament to the natural history of the Cervus xanthopygus but also highlights the exceptional artistry of the Milne-Edwards brothers. Their work continues to be a valuable resource for scientists, historians, and art enthusiasts alike, offering a glimpse into the natural world of the past.
