EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 12: A Race for Life, an exquisite illustration from The Life and Habits of Wild Animals, published in London in 1874. This image, illustrated by the renowned natural history artist Joseph Wolf, depicts a thrilling moment in the lives of two ungulates, a wolf and a deer, as they engage in a race during daytime hours. Ungulates are even-toed ungulates, a subclass of mammals that includes deer and wolves, which are both members of the Artiodactyla order, the even-toed ungulates. The Victorian-era illustration showcases the agility and speed of these animals as they navigate the icy terrain, with the wolf in hot pursuit of its prey. Both animals belong to the Cervidae family, which is a part of the larger group of Artiodactyls, Placental Mammals, Therians, Eutherians, and Epitherian Mammals. Joseph Wolf's masterful use of shading and detail brings this scene to life, capturing the essence of the animals' natural habitats and behaviors. The image transports us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the natural world as it was understood during that time. The intricate details of the animals' fur, muscles, and expressions add depth and authenticity to the image, making it a must-have for any natural history or art collection. This stunning print is a testament to the beauty and diversity of the animal kingdom, as well as the remarkable artistic talent of Joseph Wolf. It is a reminder of the importance of preserving and studying the natural world, and the role that art plays in documenting and celebrating the wonders of nature.
