Plate 38 from British Mammals Vol. 1 & 2 by Archibald Thorburn: A Stunning Illustration of a Fallow Deer (Dama dama) This exquisite illustration, Plate 38 from British Mammals Vol. 1 & 2 by Archibald Thorburn, showcases the grace and beauty of a mature Fallow Deer (Dama dama) in its natural habitat. The deer is depicted in the daytime, an ephemeral moment captured by the skilled hand of Archibald Thorburn during the early 20th century. Fallow Deer, also known as Cervus dama, are an ancient species of even-toed ungulates, belonging to the family Cervidae, order Artiodactyla, and class Mammalia. They are native to Europe, North Africa, and western Asia, and are distinguished by their distinctive coat, which features a dark brown or black back and white spots on the sides. The males, or bucks, are easily identified by their large, palmate antlers, which are shed annually. The Fallow Deer is an adaptable species, thriving in various habitats, from deciduous and coniferous forests to grasslands and heathlands. They are herbivores, feeding on a wide range of vegetation, including leaves, shoots, and fruits. Archibald Thorburn's illustration captures the elegance and poise of the Fallow Deer, with its head turned towards the viewer, its ears alert, and its antlers in full display. The artist's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to convey the animal's natural grace make this illustration a timeless work of art. This image is a testament to the rich natural heritage of Britain and the importance of preserving and celebrating the diverse range of mammals that inhabit our world. Archibald Thorburn's illustrations continue to inspire and delight naturalists, artists, and wildlife enthusiasts alike, making this a cherished addition to any collection.
