EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic Lion, Panthera leo, and the elusive Cougar, Puma concolor. Handcolored with intricate detail, this copperplate stipple engraving is a true work of art. It was featured in Frederic Cuvier's renowned Dictionary of Natural Science: Mammals, published in Paris, France in 1816. The illustration was masterfully created by J. G. Pretre under the direction of Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin and engraved by Prudhon. Jean Gabriel Pretre himself was an esteemed painter of natural history at Empress Josephine's zoo before becoming the official artist for the Museum of Natural History. This historical piece takes us back to a time when zoology and scientific exploration were rapidly advancing fields. The lion symbolizes strength and power while the cougar represents stealth and agility. Together they embody different aspects of nature's magnificence. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of our fascination with wildlife and our desire to understand these incredible creatures that share our planet. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, humans sought to document and appreciate Earth's biodiversity through art. This print from Mary Evans Prints Online allows us to bring a touch of history into our homes or offices while celebrating the beauty found within nature itself.
