EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcolored copperplate stipple engraving is a beautiful representation of three distinct species of African antelope: the Corine Antelope, Antelope corinna, the Bubal Hartebeest, Alcelaphus buselaphus buselaphus, and the Antelope corinna. The image is taken from Frederic Cuvier's Dictionary of Natural Science: Mammals, published in Paris, France, in 1816. The illustration was painted by Jean Gabriel Pretre, a renowned painter of natural history at Empress Josephine's zoo, and later became the artist to the Museum of Natural History. The engraving was executed by Coutant, under the direction of Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin, and published by F.G. Levrault. The Corine Antelope, also known as the White-tailed Gazelle, is depicted in the center of the image. This antelope was native to the savannas and forests of Central and West Africa. Unfortunately, this species is now considered extinct, with the last known sighting reported in the late 19th century. To the left of the Corine Antelope is the Bubal Hartebeest, Alcelaphus buselaphus buselaphus. This large antelope was once widespread across Africa, but its numbers have declined significantly due to habitat loss and hunting. Today, it is classified as vulnerable on the IUCN Red List. The Antelope corinna, also known as the Red Duiker, is depicted on the right side of the image. This small antelope is native to the forests of Central and West Africa and is known for its distinctive red coat. Despite its small size, it is a powerful and agile animal that is able to navigate the dense forest environment with ease. This beautiful and historically significant engraving provides a glimpse into the natural history of these fascinating animals and serves as a reminder of the importance of conservation efforts to protect endangered species.
