EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, created by Karl Joseph Brodtmann in 1836 for Heinrich Rudolf Schinz's Illustrated Natural History of Men and Animals, showcases three remarkable African predators: the African wild dog (Lycaon pictus), the spotted hyena (Crocuta crocuta), and the striped hyena (Hyaena hyaena). The African wild dog, a social and endangered species, is depicted in the foreground, its sleek, mottled coat a striking contrast against the barren, rocky terrain. With its pointed snout, long legs, and bushy tail, this canid is a formidable hunter, often working in packs to bring down large prey. In the middle ground, the spotted hyena, with its distinctive spotted coat and powerful jaws, stands alert. This adaptable scavenger and opportunistic predator is known for its unique, cackling laugh, which can be heard echoing across the savannas and woodlands of Africa. In the background, the striped hyena, with its distinctive, elongated snout and striped coat, is shown in a more relaxed pose. This nocturnal, solitary creature is an efficient scavenger, using its keen sense of smell to locate food. This beautiful and intricately detailed lithograph not only showcases the unique physical characteristics of these three African predators but also highlights their important roles in the complex ecosystems of the African continent. A testament to the artistry and scientific curiosity of the 19th century, this work continues to captivate and inspire us today.
