EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate print, drawn and engraved by W. Panormo, depicts the Caracal or Eurasian Lynx (Caracal caracal) in its natural habitat, showcased in the Gardens of the Zoological Society during the early 19th century. The Caracal, also known as the African Lynx or Desert Lynx, is a medium-sized wild cat native to Africa and parts of Asia. This agile and powerful predator is characterized by its distinctive tufted ears, short tail, and distinctive spotted coat. The Caracal in this print is depicted with great attention to detail, capturing the cat's alert and curious expression. The background of the print features various other animals native to the region, including a hyena, a spotted hyaena, and a crocuta or crocodile. This intricate and beautiful engraving is a testament to the skill and artistry of the time, and serves as a reminder of the natural wonders that inspired generations of naturalists and explorers. This print is taken from William Smellie's translation of Count Georges Buffon's "History of the Earth and Animated Nature," published by Thomas Kelly in London in 1829. Buffon's work was a groundbreaking and influential work in the field of natural history, and this print is a visual representation of the extensive research and exploration that went into documenting the natural world during this time period.
