EDITORS COMMENTS
Wolves of Hudson Bay: A Majestic Display of Canis Lupus at the Gardens of the Zoological Society, London This exquisitely handcoloured copperplate print, drawn and engraved by W. Panormo, showcases a captivating scene of wolves (Canis lupus) in their natural habitat near Hudson Bay. The image is derived from William Smellie's translation of Count Georges Buffon's renowned work, "History of the Earth and Animated Nature," published by Thomas Kelly in London in 1829. Buffon, a French naturalist, was a pioneer in the field of natural history, and his comprehensive work covered various aspects of the natural world. This particular illustration highlights the Wolves of Hudson Bay, which were of great interest to naturalists of the time due to their unique characteristics and adaptations. The wolves are depicted in a serene setting, surrounded by the lush greenery of their environment. They are shown in various poses, some resting, while others are alert and observant. The intricate details of their fur, eyes, and expressions are beautifully captured, making for a striking and lifelike representation. The print also includes other native mammals of the region, such as the Ratel (Mellivora capensis), a type of honey badger, and the Badger (Meles meles). These animals add to the richness and diversity of the scene, further emphasizing the importance of preserving and studying the natural world. This print is a testament to the meticulous work of the skilled artists and engravers of the time, who were dedicated to accurately depicting the natural world for the benefit of scientific discovery and appreciation. The Gardens of the Zoological Society, London, where this print was likely displayed, played a crucial role in fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation for the natural world and its inhabitants.
