EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork titled "Chiru, artwork C016 / 5904" by Bryan Houghton Hodgson. The piece is part of a remarkable collection of drawings depicting mammals and birds from Nepal, created between 1818 and 1858. In this particular illustration, Hodgson beautifully captures the essence of Chiru (Pantholops hodgsonii), a majestic Tibetan antelope found in Asia. The intricate details and lifelike portrayal of this endangered species truly bring it to life on paper. Hodgson's talent as an artist shines through in his ability to convey not only the physical attributes but also the spirit and gracefulness of these creatures. His work serves as a testament to his deep appreciation for nature and dedication to documenting its wonders. The Victorian-era style adds an air of elegance to this piece, transporting viewers back to a time when scientific exploration was at its peak. This drawing exemplifies the meticulousness that characterized zoological studies during the 19th century. Displayed against a backdrop reminiscent of Himalayan landscapes, Chiru stands tall as an emblematic representative of Asian wildlife. Its presence reminds us both of our responsibility to protect such vulnerable species and our fascination with their beauty. Preserved within this print from the Natural History Museum in London, Hodgson's masterpiece continues to inspire awe and admiration for Earth's diverse fauna. It serves as a timeless reminder that art can be used not only for aesthetic pleasure but
