EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic beauty of a Cheetah, scientifically known as Acinonyx jubatus. The image, captured by renowned photographer William Smellie (1697-1763), transports us to the Gardens of the Zoological Society in the 19th century. Handcoloured and engraved on copperplate by W. Symns after an illustration by Horace S. Smith, this artwork is a testament to both artistic skill and scientific observation. The cheetah's sleek form and distinctive spots are brought to life through vibrant colors that highlight its grace and agility. Known as "the chittahs" or hunting leopards, these magnificent creatures roam freely within the gardens, capturing our imagination with their wild spirit. This enchanting print is part of William Smellie's translation of Count Georges Buffon's History of the Earth and Animated Nature, published in London in 1829 by Thomas Kelly. It serves as a visual representation of Buffon's extensive study on natural history. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded of nature's wonders and our responsibility to protect these endangered species for future generations. This print from Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate not only the artistry behind it but also serves as a powerful reminder of our interconnectedness with wildlife and the importance of conservation efforts worldwide.
