EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored copperplate engraving depicts a majestic leopard, Panthera pardus, in its natural habitat. The leopard, also known as Felis leopardus, is a large and powerful member of the Felidae family, native to Africa and Asia. This near-threatened species is known for its distinctive spotted coat, which provides excellent camouflage in various environments. The engraving, drawn from a specimen at Exeter Change, was created by Harriet or Edward Griffith and published in Edward Griffith's "The Animal Kingdom" by the renowned naturalist Georges Cuvier. The work was published in London by Whittaker in 1825 and represents an important contribution to the field of natural history and zoology. The intricate details of the leopard's muscular body, expressive face, and lifelike eyes are beautifully captured in this engraving. The hand-coloring adds depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a true work of art as well as a valuable scientific record. The leopard's near-threatened status today serves as a reminder of the importance of conservation efforts to protect this magnificent creature and its habitat. This engraving not only showcases the beauty and power of the leopard but also highlights the importance of preserving biodiversity for future generations.
