EDITORS COMMENTS

The image is based on an illustration by Charles Hamilton Smith, skillfully rendered in engraving form by Thomas Landseer, for Edward Griffiths' seminal work, "The Animal Kingdom" published by Whittaker in London in 1825.

The intricate engraving technique, with its fine lines and delicate shading, brings the White Bengal Tiger to life, revealing every detail of its majestic form. This print is an essential addition to any collection of natural history or zoology, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the wonders of the natural world. The intriguing story of the White Bengal Tiger continues to captivate us, inspiring awe and appreciation for the beauty and diversity of nature.
