EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving captures the beauty and vulnerability of the Sloth bear, Melursus ursinus (Ursus labiatus). The intricate details in this illustration from Rene Primevere Lesson's Complements de Buffon, published in Paris in 1838, showcase the unique features of this endangered species.
The Sloth bear is known for its shaggy black coat and distinctive white V-shaped mark on its chest. Despite its name, this bear is not related to sloths but gets its moniker from its slow and lumbering movements. Unfortunately, due to habitat loss and poaching, the population of Sloth bears has been declining rapidly, earning them a spot on the vulnerable species list.
Through this exquisite print, we are reminded of the importance of conservation efforts to protect these magnificent creatures. The delicate handcolouring brings out the richness of detail in every aspect of this engraving, allowing us to appreciate the beauty of nature captured by artists like Rene Primevere Lesson.
Let us cherish and preserve our wildlife for future generations to enjoy by raising awareness about endangered species like the Sloth bear depicted in this remarkable artwork.
