EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 191 from the Collection of Drawings of Mammals and Birds from Nepal, 1818-1858, presents a graceful illustration of the Alpine Musk Deer, Moschus chrysogaster, by the renowned naturalist and artist, Brian Houghton Hodgson (1800-1894). This exquisite drawing, created during the 19th century, captures the delicate features and intricate details of this elusive Asian mammal. The Alpine Musk Deer, also known as the Himalayan Musk Deer, is an even-toed ungulate belonging to the family Cervidae and the order Artiodactyla. This small, agile deer is native to the high-altitude regions of the Himalayas, Tibet, and the Chinese provinces of Sichuan and Yunnan. With its slender body and long, spiraled horns, this deer is a testament to the diverse and fascinating geomorphology of the Asian landscape. Brian Houghton Hodgson was a British naturalist and artist who spent several years in Nepal during the mid-1800s, studying and documenting the rich biodiversity of the region. His meticulous drawings and observations were instrumental in advancing the scientific understanding of the mammals and birds of Asia during this period. This drawing of the Alpine Musk Deer is a prime example of Hodgson's exceptional skill and dedication to natural history. The Alpine Musk Deer is known for its distinctive musky odor, which is used as a prized ingredient in traditional Asian medicine and perfumes. Despite its small size and elusive nature, this deer has played an important role in the cultural and economic history of the region. Today, it remains an iconic symbol of the unique and diverse wildlife that can be found in the high-altitude habitats of the Asian continent.
