EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcolored copperplate engraving showcases the Brasilian Tiger, also known as the South American Tiger or the Bergmann's Tiger, in its natural habitat. The Brasilian Tiger (Panthera onca) is the largest cat species native to South America and is one of the most iconic symbols of the Brazilian wilderness. The Brasilian Tiger can be distinguished by its powerful build, muscular body, and distinctive stripes. In this illustration, the tiger is depicted with its mouth open, displaying its sharp teeth and intimidating roar. The rich, vibrant colors of the engraving bring the tiger to life, capturing the intricate details of its coat and the intensity of its gaze. This illustration was published in "The Naturalist's Pocket Magazine; or, Complete Cabinet of the Curiosities and Beauties of Nature," a popular natural history publication of the late 18th century. The magazine aimed to provide its readers with accurate and detailed information about the natural world, making it an invaluable resource for naturalists and collectors of the time. The Brasilian Tiger was an object of fascination for naturalists and explorers, who were drawn to its beauty and power. Unfortunately, the tiger's population has declined significantly due to habitat loss, fragmentation, and poaching. Today, the Brasilian Tiger is considered an endangered species, and conservation efforts are underway to protect it and its habitat. This historical illustration serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving the natural world and the unique creatures that inhabit it. It also showcases the incredible artistry and attention to detail of the natural history illustrators of the past.
