EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the beauty and mystery of the Civet (Viverra Civetta), a fascinating creature that calls various regions home, particularly central Africa. Despite its cat-like appearance, the Civet is not actually a member of the feline family, although it is sometimes mistakenly referred to as one. One of the most intriguing aspects of this animal is its ability to secrete a musky substance that has long been prized by perfumiers for its unique scent. This historical practice dates back to at least the late 18th century and continues to be valued in certain circles today. The Civet's role in history and culture is truly remarkable, with references to its musky secretion appearing in texts from centuries past. Its presence in central Africa adds an exotic element to this already captivating creature. This print from Mary Evans Prints Online offers a glimpse into the world of the Civet, showcasing its distinctive features and highlighting its importance throughout history. Whether admired for its beauty or sought after for its prized substance, the Civet remains an enigmatic figure that continues to fascinate all who encounter it.
