EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "The Striped Hyena: A Wild and Sullen Gaze from the Past" The captivating image before you is a glimpse into the historical record of one of nature's most intriguing and enigmatic creatures: the striped hyena (Canis hyaena), as depicted in an 1790 print by the renowned natural history illustrator, Bewick. This print, available through Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a striking and unforgettable portrayal of this wild animal's strikingly wild, sullen, and ferocious eyes. The striped hyena, a native of Africa and southwestern Asia, is a unique member of the hyena family, distinguished by its distinctive striped coat. With its elongated snout, powerful jaws, and robust build, the striped hyena is a formidable predator and scavenger, capable of taking down large prey and competing with lions and other large carnivores. Bewick's masterful illustration captures the hyena's intense gaze, which seems to convey a deep sense of both intelligence and primal instinct. The animal's eyes, with their piercing, yellow irises and dark, rimmed pupils, seem to pierce through the canvas and into the very soul of the viewer. This image not only serves as a testament to the beauty and power of nature but also offers a fascinating window into the past, providing us with a glimpse into the world of this remarkable and enigmatic creature as it existed over two centuries ago. As you gaze upon this print, you can't help but be struck by the raw, primal energy that emanates from the striped hyena's eyes. It's a reminder of the wild, untamed power that still exists in the natural world, even as it continues to be shaped and influenced by the passage of time. Whether you're a natural history enthusiast, an artist, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty and mystery of the natural world, this print is sure to inspire and captivate you.
