EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic American Elk, also known as Cervus Canadensis, in all its glory. Taken from John J. Audubon's renowned publication "The Viviparous Quadrupeds of North America" in 1845, this colour lithograph beautifully captures the essence of these remarkable creatures. The image portrays a male and female elk standing side by side against a picturesque backdrop of nature. Their impressive antlers proudly displayed, symbolizing strength and dominance within their species. The attention to detail in this illustration is truly remarkable; every strand of fur and contour of muscle meticulously depicted. As we gaze upon this historical piece from the 19th century, we are transported back to a time when wild animals roamed freely across vast landscapes untouched by human intervention. It serves as a reminder of our shared history with these magnificent creatures and highlights the importance of preserving their natural habitats for future generations. Part of the Historica Graphica Collection, this print not only celebrates the beauty and diversity found in our wildlife but also pays homage to John James Audubon (1785-1851), one of history's most influential naturalists and illustrators. Let us cherish this glimpse into our past, appreciating both the artistic brilliance captured on paper and the intrinsic value that lies within each animal portrayed.
