EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving depicts a majestic Panther, Panthera pardus or Panthera onca, also known as the leopard or black panther, in its natural habitat. The image is taken from William Smellie's translation of Count Georges Buffon's seminal work, "History of the Earth and Animated Nature," published by Thomas Kelly in London in 1829. The illustration was produced by the skilled hands of engraver W. Panormo, based on an original drawing by W. Berthoud. The Panther is one of the most elegant and powerful big cats, native to Asia and Africa. Its distinctive coat, which can range from yellowish-brown to black, is adorned with rosettes and spots, making it a formidable and awe-inspiring sight. This engraving captures the Panther's regal presence, with its piercing gaze and poised demeanor, as it surveys its domain in the lush gardens of the Zoological Society. Buffon's "History of the Earth and Animated Nature" was a groundbreaking work that sought to provide a comprehensive account of the natural world. The publication of this work marked a significant milestone in the history of natural history, as it was one of the first works to present a scientifically accurate and detailed record of the natural world. This engraving of the Panther is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and the artistic skill that went into the production of Buffon's work. Today, this beautiful and historic image serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving the natural world and the role that scientific inquiry and artistic expression play in our understanding of the natural world.
