EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the African wild dog, Lycaon pictus, a species that is sadly endangered. The image, captured by renowned artist William Lizars and based on a drawing by Colonel Charles Hamilton Smith, beautifully portrays the unique characteristics of this magnificent creature. With its striking handcoloured steel engraving technique, the print highlights every intricate detail of the wild dog's appearance. The African wild dog is also known as the painted lycaon or Lycaon venaticus. Its scientific name reflects its distinctive features and behavior - "pictus" meaning painted and "venaticus" referring to its hunting abilities. This canine species possesses an elegant yet fierce presence as it roams through its natural habitat. In this artwork, we witness the gracefulness of these animals in motion. Their slender bodies are depicted with precision and their expressive eyes seem to convey both curiosity and determination. The pack moves together like a well-coordinated team during hunts, showcasing their exceptional social structure. Sadly, due to various threats including habitat loss and human conflict, these beautiful creatures face an uncertain future in the wild. This print serves as a reminder of our responsibility to protect endangered species like the African wild dog for generations to come. Bridgeman Images has expertly preserved this historical piece from Sir William Jardine's Naturalists Library: Mammalia collection for us all to appreciate and admire nature's wonders even from afar.
