EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Maned Wolf or Aguara Guazu (Chrysocyon brachyurus) - A Rare and Enigmatic Canid from South America" This handcolored engraving, created by William Lizars from a drawing by Colonel Charles Hamilton Smith, showcases the elusive Maned Wolf or Aguara Guazu (Chrysocyon brachyurus). This fascinating creature, native to South America, is the largest canid in the continent, and its unique appearance sets it apart from other members of the dog family. The Maned Wolf is named for its distinctive mane, which resembles that of a fox, and its long, slender legs, reminiscent of antelope. With its pointed ears, bushy tail, and expressive eyes, this engraving beautifully captures the animal's intriguing features. Colonel Charles Hamilton Smith (1799-1860) was a Scottish military officer, naturalist, and artist, who made significant contributions to the scientific study of South American fauna. Sir William Jardine (1813-1874), a Scottish botanist and naturalist, amassed an extensive collection of natural history specimens and published numerous works on various aspects of natural history. This engraving is part of Sir William Jardine's Naturalist's Library: Dogs, published by W.H. Lizars in Edinburgh in 1839. The meticulous handcoloring adds depth and vibrancy to the image, making it an exquisite piece of historical art. The Maned Wolf or Aguara Guazu is a rare and enigmatic mammal, inhabiting the grasslands and forests of Central and South America. Its elusive nature and unique appearance have long fascinated naturalists and wildlife enthusiasts alike. This engraving offers a glimpse into the rich natural history of South America and the remarkable discoveries made during the 19th century.
