EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts an African hunting dog, Lycaon pictus, in the lush gardens of the Zoological Society. The image, created through the intricate process of hand-colored copperplate engraving, was produced by W. Panormo based on an illustration by W. Berthoud. It is a visual representation from William Smellie's translation of Count Georges Buffon's seminal work, "History of the Earth and Animated Nature," published by Thomas Kelly in London in 1829. The African hunting dog, also known as the painted dog or the Lycaon, is a social and cooperative canid species native to sub-Saharan Africa. This species is characterized by its distinctive coat, which is a mix of brown, black, and white, resembling a tortoiseshell pattern. They are apex predators and are known for their unique hunting techniques, often working together in packs to bring down large prey. Buffon's "History of the Earth and Animated Nature" was a groundbreaking work that covered a wide range of natural history topics, including geology, botany, and zoology. The work was translated into English by William Smellie and published in multiple volumes between 1812 and 1824. The inclusion of this African hunting dog image in the work highlights Buffon's extensive knowledge and interest in the natural world, which was a source of fascination during the 18th and 19th centuries. This print serves as a beautiful and intricate reminder of the rich natural history knowledge that was being documented and shared during this time period. The African hunting dog, with its striking coat and cooperative hunting behavior, continues to captivate and inspire us today, making this print a valuable addition to any collection of natural history or African wildlife art.
