EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph depicts a majestic Columbian white-tailed deer, Odocoileus virginianus leucurus, in its natural habitat. The image is Plate 118 from "The Viviparous Quadrupeds of North America," Volume 3, published in 1848 by renowned naturalists John James Audubon (1785-1851) and John Bachman (1790-1874). The illustration showcases a mature buck, with its impressive antlers adorned with velvety new growth. The deer is depicted in daytime, standing gracefully with its long, slender legs and agile body. The Columbian white-tailed deer, also known as the long-tailed deer, is an even-toed ungulate and a member of the family Cervidae, order Artiodactyla, class Cervidae, and suborder Capreolinae. It is native to North America and is the most widely distributed and abundant large mammal in the continent. John Bachman, a native of South Carolina, was a prominent naturalist and collaborator with Audubon on "The Viviparous Quadrupeds of North America." Together, they produced a series of meticulously detailed illustrations that showcased the natural history of North American wildlife. This particular plate was produced using the lithography technique, which allowed for high-quality, detailed images that captured the essence of the subjects. The Columbian white-tailed deer is an important species in North American ecosystems, playing a vital role in maintaining the balance of the forest. Their diet consists primarily of leaves, twigs, and bark, making them an essential herbivore in many habitats. This iconic image serves as a testament to the beauty and diversity of North American wildlife, captured by two of the greatest naturalists of the 19th century.
