EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored steel engraving, created by Annedouche after a drawing by Edouard Travies, showcases two captivating felines: a House Cat and a Turkish Angora. The image is taken from Richards New Edition of the Complete Works of Comte de Buffon, published by Pourrat Freres in Paris in 1837. Comte de Buffon, a renowned naturalist, documented various aspects of zoology and natural history in his extensive works. The House Cat, or Felis catus, is depicted on the left side of the image. This domestic species is known for its adaptability and ability to thrive in various environments. With its round face, plush fur, and alert eyes, it exudes a playful and endearing demeanor. On the right side of the engraving lies the Turkish Angora, or Felis angora, a breed originating from Ankara, Turkey. Known for its elegant and slender build, this feline boasts a striking appearance with its long, silky coat and piercing blue eyes. The Turkish Angora was once considered a sacred animal in ancient Anatolia and was revered for its grace and beauty. The intricate details in this handcolored steel engraving bring these two cats to life, capturing their unique characteristics and personalities. The historical significance of this image lies in its connection to the works of Comte de Buffon and the rich history of zoological documentation. This engraving serves as a beautiful reminder of the enduring fascination with these beloved creatures and the importance of preserving their stories for future generations.
