EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Introducing a captivating assemblage of felines from the exotic locales of Asia, this handcoloured lithograph presents the Javan leopard-cat (Felis javanensis), colocolo (Leopardus colocolo), and Nepalese cat (Felis nepalensis). Originally published in Carl Hoffmann's "Das Buch der Welt" or "The Book of the World," this 1849 educational print showcases the unique features of each species, providing a glimpse into their natural habitats and distinct appearances. 2. The Javan leopard-cat, native to the Indonesian island of Java, is a small wild cat with a sleek, spotted coat. Its elongated tail and pointed ears give it a distinctively agile and alert appearance, making it a formidable hunter in its forested environment. 3. The colocolo, also known as the oncilla or the little tiger, is a small wild cat native to South America, but this lithograph features its Asian counterpart. This species, native to the Himalayas and southern Asia, has a short, thick coat with rosette-like spots and distinctive stripes on its face. 4. The Nepalese cat, or the common cat of Nepal, is a domestic cat that shares its name with its wild counterpart, the Asian leopard cat. This lithograph, however, likely depicts the wild Nepalese cat, which has a short, dense coat with prominent black spots and stripes. 5. This exquisite lithograph not only serves as a testament to the natural beauty of these felines but also highlights the meticulous craftsmanship of the 19th-century printing process. The intricate details and vibrant colours bring each species to life, allowing us to appreciate their unique characteristics and the rich biodiversity of their habitats. 6. As we marvel at the captivating image of these three Asian felines, we are reminded of the importance of preserving their habitats and ensuring their continued survival. These magnificent creatures, though captivating in their own right, are integral components of the intricate web of life that sustains our planet.
