EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning lithograph print captures the beauty and majesty of two iconic North American animals - the red wolf and red fox. Created by renowned illustrator Jean Gabriel Pretre in the early 19th century, this artwork is a true masterpiece of natural history illustration.
The red wolf, Canis lupus rufus, is depicted in all its glory, showcasing its distinctive reddish coat and fierce gaze. Once abundant throughout the southeastern United States, the red wolf is now critically endangered due to habitat loss and human persecution. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of conservation efforts to protect these magnificent creatures.
Accompanying the red wolf is a silver fox, Vulpes vulpes, with its sleek fur and bushy tail. The contrast between these two species highlights their unique characteristics and roles in their respective ecosystems.
Hand-colored with meticulous detail, this engraving exemplifies the skill and artistry of Pretre and his collaborator Pierre Jean Francois Turpin. Originally featured in Frederic Cuvier's "Dictionary of Natural Sciences" in Paris in 1816, this print continues to captivate viewers with its vivid depiction of wildlife.
As we admire this exquisite artwork, let us remember the importance of preserving our planet's biodiversity for future generations to enjoy.
