EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored engraving on steel, titled "Sumatran Dhole, Cuon alpinus sumatrensis," is a rare and captivating glimpse into the natural history of this endangered mammal. Created by renowned Scottish engraver William Lizars, based on a drawing by Colonel Charles Hamilton Smith, this image was published as part of Sir William Jardine's Naturalist's Library: Dogs in 1839. The Sumatran Dhole, also known as the Asiatic wild dog, is a critically endangered species of dhole native to the Indonesian island of Sumatra. With a striking appearance, the Sumatran Dhole features a reddish-brown coat with black spots, long snout, and pointed ears. They are social animals, living in packs of up to 12 individuals, and are apex predators in their ecosystem. This engraving provides a valuable historical record of the Sumatran Dhole, which was relatively unknown to Europeans at the time. The image captures the animal's natural habitat, likely a forested area, and showcases its distinctive features. The intricate detail and vibrant colors of the handcoloring enhance the image's beauty and accuracy. The Sumatran Dhole population is currently threatened by habitat loss, fragmentation, and human-wildlife conflict. Conservation efforts, such as habitat protection, anti-poaching initiatives, and community-based programs, are essential to ensure the survival of this remarkable species. This engraving serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving biodiversity and documenting the natural world for future generations.
