EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored copperplate engraving, created by Harriet or Edward Griffith, showcases two intriguing and vulnerable feline species: the Sunda clouded leopard (Neofelis diardi) and the serval (Leptailurus serval). The Sunda clouded leopard, also known as the Sundaland clouded leopard or Java tiger cat, is a native of Southeast Asia, specifically the Sumatran and Malay Peninsulas, and the islands of Borneo and Java. With its distinctive cloud-like markings, this elusive and agile predator is considered a vulnerable species due to habitat loss and fragmentation, as well as poaching for its beautiful fur. The serval, on the other hand, is native to Africa, specifically the savannas and grasslands of sub-Saharan Africa. With its striking long legs, large ears, and distinctive spotted coat, the serval is also known as the "tiger cat of Java" and the "Cape cat of Forster." This graceful and agile predator is considered vulnerable due to habitat loss and fragmentation, as well as hunting for its beautiful fur and body parts, which are used in traditional African medicine and as status symbols. This engraving, part of Edward Griffith's The Animal Kingdom by the Baron Cuvier, published in London by Whittaker in 1825, offers a glimpse into the natural world of the past, highlighting the beauty and vulnerability of these two remarkable feline species. The intricate details of the engraving, combined with the vibrant hand-coloring, bring these animals to life, reminding us of the importance of preserving their habitats and protecting them from threats.
