EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely hand-colored copperplate print depicts a Golden Jackal, Canis aureus, in its natural habitat. The jackal, a member of the Canidae family, is a common and widespread species found throughout Europe, Asia, and North Africa. In this image, the jackal is shown with a regal and alert demeanor, its golden coat shimmering in the sunlight. The Golden Jackal has been a subject of fascination for naturalists and scholars for centuries. Count Georges Buffon, a renowned French naturalist, described the species in his seminal work "History of the Earth and Animated Nature," which was translated into English by William Smellie and published in London in 1829. This print is a beautiful representation of Buffon's thorough and accurate observations of the natural world. The jackal in this print is shown in a garden setting, with various flowers and plants surrounding it. This may be a nod to the fact that jackals are often found in agricultural areas and gardens, where they feed on rodents, birds, and other small animals. The intricately detailed engraving by W. Panormo brings the jackal to life, capturing its distinctive features and movements. The use of hand-coloring adds an extra layer of depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a true work of art. The Golden Jackal has been celebrated for its purity and race, with some even comparing its coat to that of a thoroughbred horse or a purebred Arabian stallion. This print serves as a testament to the beauty and majesty of this fascinating species, and a reminder of the important role that natural history plays in our understanding of the natural world.
