"The American Bison, educational illustration pub. by the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, 1843" by Josiah Wood Whymper is a notable work that reflects the 19th-century interest in natural history and educational literature. Josiah Wood Whymper, an accomplished English wood engraver, watercolorist, and illustrator, was renowned for his detailed and accurate depictions of wildlife and natural scenes. This particular illustration was published by the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge (SPCK), an organization established in 1698 with the mission of promoting Christian education and literature.

The illustration of the American Bison is a testament to the era's fascination with the natural world, particularly the exotic and majestic creatures of the North American continent. During the mid-19th century, the American Bison, also known as the buffalo, was a symbol of the untamed wilderness of the American West. Whymper's work would have served both an educational purpose and a means of inspiring awe and curiosity about the natural world among its viewers.

The SPCK was instrumental in disseminating educational materials during this period, and Whymper's illustration would have been part of a broader effort to educate the public about the diversity of life on Earth. The detailed and lifelike representation of the bison in this illustration would have provided valuable visual information to those who might never have the opportunity to see such an animal in person.

Whymper's skillful use of wood engraving techniques allowed for the mass production of high-quality images, making educational resources more accessible to a wider audience. His work on "The American Bison" is a fine example of how art and education were intertwined in the 19th century, contributing to the broader understanding and appreciation of the natural world.
