EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 221 from Chapter 11 of Gleanings of Natural History, published between 1758 and 1764, features an exquisite engraving of two magnificent animals of the Asian continent: an Asian elephant (Elephas maximus) and a rhinoceros. The illustration, created during the 18th century, offers a detailed and accurate representation of these natural wonders, showcasing their grandeur and majesty. The Asian elephant, the larger of the two species, is depicted here as a heavy, female mammal with long, curved tusks and large, fan-shaped ears. With a height of up to 10 feet and weighing up to 13,000 pounds, these gentle giants are the largest living land animals in Asia. The Asian elephant is an odd-toed ungulate, belonging to the family Elephantidae and order Proboscidea. Their elongated, muscular trunks are a unique feature that sets them apart from their African counterparts. The rhinoceros, although not explicitly identified in the plate, can be inferred from the presence of the Asian elephant. The two animals are often found in the same habitats, sharing a complex relationship. The Asian rhinoceros, also known as the Sumatran or Indian rhinoceros, is the smaller of the five extant rhinoceros species. With its thick, grayish-brown hide, two horns, and powerful build, it is a formidable creature, weighing up to 6,000 pounds. Both the Asian elephant and rhinoceros are endangered species, with populations declining due to habitat loss, poaching, and human-elephant conflict. This beautiful engraving serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving these magnificent creatures and their habitats for future generations to marvel at their natural history.
