EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored engraving showcases the majestic Sambar deer, Rusa unicolor, also known as the Malayan rusa or the Indian brown deer. Depicted in this beautiful illustration is a mature male Sambar, its impressive antlers adorned with several points and tines, a testament to its maturity and dominance. The Sambar is the largest of the Asian deer species, native to the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia. The Sambar deer is a herbivore, feeding primarily on grasses, leaves, and shoots. They are also known to browse on fruits and bamboo. These deer are excellent swimmers and are often found near water sources. Their agility and speed make them elusive prey, making them a sought-after game animal in some regions. The Sambar deer population has been declining due to habitat loss, fragmentation, and poaching. According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), the Sambar deer is classified as Vulnerable. Their numbers continue to decline due to human activities, including agriculture, logging, and urbanization, which destroy their habitats. Poaching for their meat and antlers also poses a significant threat to their populations. This stunning hand-colored engraving, created by Thomas Landseer after an illustration drawn from life by Charles Hamilton Smith, is a testament to the natural beauty of the Sambar deer. It is a reminder of the importance of preserving their habitats and protecting them from the threats that continue to endanger their populations. The Sambar deer is an essential part of the natural history and zoology of the Ruminantia order, and its conservation is crucial for the preservation of biodiversity. This engraving is taken from Edward Griffiths' The Animal Kingdom by the Baron Cuvier, published in London by Whittaker in 1827.
