EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic presence of a Himalayan black bear, Ursus thibetanus laniger. The image takes us back to the 19th century, where this stunning creature resided in the Gardens of the Zoological Society. Handcoloured and engraved by talented artists W. Symns and Horace S. Smith respectively, this piece is a true work of art. The Thibet bear, also known as the Himalayan black bear, stands out against its natural surroundings with its lustrous coat beautifully depicted in vivid colors. Its powerful physique exudes strength and grace as it gazes into the distance. This print is part of William Smellie's translation of Count Georges Buffon's renowned book "History of the Earth and Animated Nature". It serves as a testament to humanity's fascination with wildlife throughout history. Through this image, we are transported to an era when zoos were gateways for people to witness exotic animals up close. The gardens provided sanctuary for these magnificent creatures while offering visitors an opportunity to marvel at their beauty. As we admire this remarkable artwork from Fine Art Finder, let us appreciate not only the skillful craftsmanship but also reflect on our responsibility towards preserving nature's wonders for future generations.
