EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the elusive Javan rhinoceros, Rhinoceros sondaicus, a critically endangered species native to the forests of Indonesia and Vietnam. The Javan rhinoceros is the rarest large mammal in the world, with fewer than 70 individuals remaining in the wild as of 2021. Depicted in this illustration from Rene Primevere's "Lessons Complements de Buffon," published by Pourrat Freres in Paris in 1838, the Javan rhinoceros appears as a powerful and majestic creature. With its heavily armored skin, large ears, and distinctive single horn, this engraving provides a detailed and accurate representation of the animal's physical features. The Javan rhinoceros is a forest dweller, preferring dense vegetation for cover. They are solitary animals, with males and females only coming together for mating. Their diet consists mainly of leaves, bamboo shoots, and fruit. Unfortunately, the Javan rhinoceros faces numerous threats, including habitat loss due to deforestation, poaching for their horns, and human-elephant conflict. Conservation efforts, such as habitat protection, anti-poaching patrols, and community outreach programs, are ongoing to help save this magnificent creature from extinction. This beautiful and historically significant engraving serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving the world's rarest and most endangered species. It is a testament to the skill and artistry of the engraver, as well as the dedication of naturalists and conservationists who work tirelessly to protect the natural world.
