EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving by Antonio Sasso, taken from Giulio Ferrario's "Ancient and Modern Costumes of all the Peoples of the World," published in Florence, Italy in 1843, offers a captivating portrayal of the African lion (Panthera leo). The majestic big cat is depicted in its natural habitat, with its powerful muscles and regal posture on full display. The intricate details of the lion's mane and the textured fur are beautifully rendered, showcasing Sasso's exceptional engraving skills. The African lion, also known as the African lion or the king of beasts, is the largest living cat species and a symbol of power and courage. Native to Africa, they are found in various habitats, including savannas, grasslands, and forests. These social animals live in prides, which are typically led by a dominant male. The panther (Panthera pardus), another big cat species, is also depicted in the same publication, but it is not featured in this particular engraving. Leopards, which are also part of the Panthera genus, are known for their distinctive spotted coat and excellent climbing abilities. This engraving is a testament to the fascination with exotic animals and cultures that was prevalent during the 19th century. It serves as a reminder of the rich natural heritage that exists across the world and the importance of preserving it for future generations. The intricate details and vibrant colors in this handcoloured print make it a stunning addition to any collection of natural history or wildlife art.
