Painting Description
"A Monograph of the Felidae or Family of the Cats" is a seminal work in the field of zoology, authored by the American zoologist and ornithologist Daniel Giraud Elliot. Published in parts between 1878 and 1883, this monograph represents a comprehensive study of the family Felidae, which includes all species of cats, from the largest predators like lions and tigers to the smallest felines such as ocelots and domestic cats.
Elliot, who was a co-founder of the American Museum of Natural History in New York City and served as its curator of zoology, was renowned for his contributions to the study of birds and mammals. In this monograph, he meticulously details the characteristics, behaviors, and habitats of various cat species, providing scientific descriptions and illustrations that were groundbreaking at the time of publication.
The work is notable for its high-quality chromolithographic plates, which were produced by Joseph Wolf, a prominent wildlife artist known for his detailed and lifelike illustrations. Wolf's contributions to the monograph significantly enhanced its value and made it a collector's item among naturalists and bibliophiles.
"A Monograph of the Felidae or Family of the Cats" was published for subscribers, indicating that it was likely a limited edition release, aimed at a specialized audience with a keen interest in natural history and zoology. Elliot's work remains an important historical document in the study of felids and is referenced by researchers and enthusiasts for its thoroughness and the beauty of its illustrations. The monograph is a testament to the scientific and artistic achievements of the late 19th century and continues to be appreciated for its contribution to the understanding of one of the most admired and studied animal families.
