EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the South American tapir, Tapirus terrestris, in all its vulnerable beauty. The image captures the essence of this remarkable creature as it gracefully moves through its natural habitat. With its sleek body and distinctive markings, the tapir stands out against a lush backdrop of foliage. The artist, William Smellie, skillfully handcolored this copperplate engraving to bring out the intricate details of the tapir's features. Every stroke of color adds depth and dimension to this stunning portrayal. Taken from Count Georges Buffon's renowned work on natural history, "History of the Earth and Animated Nature" this print offers a glimpse into a world that is both fascinating and fragile. It serves as a reminder of our responsibility to protect these endangered species and their habitats. Displayed within the gardens of the Zoological Society, this artwork invites viewers to appreciate not only the tapir but also the importance of conservation efforts. Through Smellie's translation and Thomas Kelly's publication in 1829 London, audiences were able to witness nature's wonders firsthand. Florilegius has preserved this masterpiece for us to admire today. As we gaze upon this image, let us be inspired by its magnificence and motivated to safeguard our planet's rich biodiversity for future generations.
