EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Wolves of Hudson Bay, Canis lupus" takes us back to the 19th century and offers a glimpse into the world of these majestic creatures. The image showcases a pack of grey wolves in the Gardens of the Zoological Society in London, beautifully handcoloured on a copperplate engraving. The artist, William Smellie, brings to life Count Georges Buffon's History of the Earth and Animated Nature through his intricate translation. As we admire this piece, it is evident that Smellie has captured not only the physicality but also the essence of these canines. The wolves stand tall and proud against a backdrop that hints at their natural habitat - Hudson Bay. Their piercing eyes seem to hold untold stories while their sleek fur glistens with shades of grey. It is as if they are frozen in time within this enchanting artwork. This print transports us to an era where wildlife was celebrated for its beauty and mystery. It serves as a reminder that even amidst bustling city life, there is room for appreciation and preservation of our animal counterparts. As we delve into this exquisite piece by Bridgeman Images from Fine Art Finder, let us be reminded of our responsibility towards nature's wonders.
