EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcolored copperplate stipple engraving, titled "Warthog (Phacochoerus africanus) and South American Tapir (Tapirus terrestris)," is an exquisite illustration from Frederic Cuvier's "Dictionary of Natural Science: Mammals," published in Paris, France, in 1816. The illustration was created by the skilled painter of natural history, Jean Gabriel Pretre (1780-1845), who later became the artist to the Museum of Natural History. The engraving, directed by Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin and published by F.G. Levrault, features two mammals from distinct continents, the Warthog of Africa and the South American Tapir. The Warthog, a native of the African savannas and woodlands, is depicted with its distinctive tusks and warts, while the South American Tapir, a vulnerable species, is shown with its elongated snout and distinctive coloration. The intricate details of the animals' anatomy and textures are beautifully rendered in this engraving, which showcases the exceptional skill of the artist and engraver. The handcoloring adds a vibrant and lifelike quality to the image, making it a true masterpiece of natural history illustration. Jean Gabriel Pretre was a painter of natural history at Empress Josephine's zoo before becoming the artist to the Museum of Natural History. His work, along with that of other naturalists and illustrators of the time, played a crucial role in documenting and preserving the natural world for future generations. This engraving is a testament to the beauty and diversity of the animal kingdom and the importance of scientific exploration and documentation.
