This artwork, titled "Three Carnivores" takes us back in time to the 19th century Nepal. Painted by the talented Nepalese artist Tursmoney Chittenham around 1840, this watercolour masterpiece showcases the rich diversity of fauna found in Asia. The illustration is part of a remarkable collection known as the scrapbook collection of birds and mammals of Nepal, meticulously compiled by Bryan Houghton Hodgson between 1818 and 1858. Plate 129 from this extraordinary compilation features three carnivorous mammals beautifully depicted against a backdrop that transports us into their natural habitat. This Victorian-era drawing captures not only the artistic skill but also serves as an invaluable zoological record for researchers and enthusiasts alike. The attention to detail in portraying these creatures is awe-inspiring. Each brushstroke brings out the unique characteristics of these majestic beings, highlighting their importance within Nepal's wildlife ecosystem. As we delve deeper into this artwork, we are reminded of our shared connection with nature and our responsibility to protect it. Preserved by London's Natural History Museum, this print stands as a testament to both scientific exploration and artistic expression. It invites us on a journey through time while igniting curiosity about Earth's diverse animal kingdom. Let it serve as a reminder that beauty can be found not only in museums but also within our own natural world – waiting patiently for us to appreciate its wonders.
