EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving depicts a majestic Indian antelope, or blackbuck (Antilope cervicapra), gracefully grazing in the gardens of the Zoological Society. The antelope's distinctive coat, a mesmerizing blend of black and white, is accentuated by the meticulous use of color in this beautiful work of art. The Indian antelope, also known as the blackbuck antelope or simply blackbuck, is a large antelope species native to the Indian subcontinent. Once abundant in various habitats, including forests, grasslands, and marshes, this species has unfortunately become vulnerable due to habitat loss and poaching. This engraving is from William Smellie's translation of Count Georges Buffon's renowned work, "History of the Earth and Animated Nature," published by Thomas Kelly in London in 1829. Buffon, a French naturalist, is celebrated for his extensive knowledge and groundbreaking contributions to the fields of natural history and biology. The inclusion of the Indian antelope in Buffon's work underscores the global reach and significance of natural history exploration during this period. The antelope is shown in a serene setting, surrounded by lush greenery, emphasizing its natural habitat and beauty. The presence of other exotic animals, such as a giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis) in the background, further highlights the diverse array of species that were being studied and documented during this era. This image serves as a testament to the fascination and curiosity that drove naturalists and explorers to discover and document the natural world around them.
