EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph by Gebhart, created in 1842 for Georg Friedrich Treitschke's Gallery of Natural History in Leipzig, Germany, showcases the endangered Hog Deer, scientifically known as Axis porcinus. Hog Deer are small, forest-dwelling deer species native to the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia. They are characterized by their distinctive stripes on their body and their short, curved horns, which are present only in males. Unfortunately, the Hog Deer population has been declining due to habitat loss, fragmentation, and poaching. According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), the species is currently classified as Endangered. The lithograph serves as a reminder of the beauty and fragility of this magnificent creature, which is at risk of disappearing from the wild. The intricate details of the Hog Deer's coat, with its stripes and spots, are beautifully captured in this handcoloured lithograph. The artist has also skillfully depicted the deer's alert and curious expression, as if inviting us to appreciate its natural grace and elegance. The lithograph is a testament to the artistic and scientific achievements of the past, and a call to action for the preservation of this endangered species in the present.
