EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured lithograph depicts a Dorcas Gazelle, Gazella dorcas, also known as the Common or Kevella Gazelle. The Dorcas Gazelle is a medium-sized antelope native to the arid regions of Eastern and Southern Africa. With a slender build and elegant grace, this gazelle is characterized by its distinctive white underbelly and black markings on its face and limbs. The Dorcas Gazelle is a vulnerable species, with populations declining due to habitat loss, poaching, and human-wildlife conflict. This beautiful illustration, created by the skilled hand of James Stewart, was part of Georg Friedrich Treitschke's renowned Gallery of Natural History, Naturhistorischer Bildersaal des Thierreiches, published in Leipzig, Germany, in 1842. The intricate details of the Dorcas Gazelle's anatomy and coat patterns are faithfully rendered, making this a valuable historical record of this magnificent creature. The Dorcas Gazelle plays a crucial role in its ecosystem as a herbivore, contributing to the maintenance of vegetation balance in its habitat. Its agility and speed make it an elusive and challenging prey for predators, ensuring its survival in the wild. This image serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving the natural world and the unique creatures that inhabit it. The Dorcas Gazelle continues to face numerous threats, and efforts to conserve its populations are ongoing. Let us appreciate the beauty and wonder of this creature, and do our part to ensure its survival for future generations.
