EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning watercolor triptych, titled Plate 129, showcases three magnificent carnivores native to Nepal, meticulously rendered by the Nepalese artist Tursmoney Chittenham around 1840. The plate is part of the extensive scrapbook collection of birds and mammals of Nepal, meticulously compiled by the renowned British naturalist Bryan Houghton Hodgson between 1818 and 1858. The captivating carnivores depicted in this artwork include a tiger (Panthera tigris), a leopard (Panthera pardus), and a sloth bear (Melursus ursinus). Each animal is depicted in its natural habitat, showcasing their distinctive features and powerful physiques. The tiger, with its iconic orange coat and black stripes, exudes regality and strength, while the leopard, with its distinctive rosette pattern, appears agile and stealthy. The sloth bear, with its long snout and shaggy coat, seems both gentle and formidable. Brian Houghton Hodgson (1800-1894) was a pioneering naturalist who spent over four decades in Nepal, collecting and documenting a vast array of specimens, including over 1,500 species of birds and mammals. His meticulous records and detailed illustrations, like this one, have provided invaluable insights into the natural history of Nepal and the broader Asian region. This watercolor triptych is a testament to the rich biodiversity of Nepal during the Victorian era and serves as a reminder of the importance of documenting and preserving the natural world for future generations.
