EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate print depicts an Indian tiger in its natural habitat, resting beneath the shade of a tamarind tree. The intricately detailed illustration, drawn and engraved by Andrea Bernieri after Francois Solvyns, is taken from Giulio Ferrario's Ancient and Modern Costumes of all the Peoples of the World, published in Florence, Italy, in 1844. The Indian tiger, a majestic and powerful predator, is the largest of all big cats and is a symbol of India's rich biodiversity. The tamarind tree, with its distinctive heart-shaped leaves and long, pod-like fruit, provides the perfect setting for this regal creature. The fruit of the tamarind tree is not only a favorite food source for the tiger but also holds significant cultural and medicinal importance in India. The meticulous attention to detail in this print is evident in the textured fur of the tiger, the delicate veins on the leaves, and the intricate patterns on the tamarind pods. The use of handcolouring adds depth and vibrancy to the image, bringing the scene to life. This print is a testament to the artistic and cultural significance of India during the 19th century, showcasing the natural beauty of its wildlife and the skill of its artists. It is a reminder of the rich heritage and biodiversity that India continues to preserve and protect.
