EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored engraving on steel, titled 'Mexican Coyote, Canis latrans cagottis,' is a stunning representation of this North American mammal as depicted in Sir William Jardine's Naturalist's Library: Dogs, published by W.H. Lizars in Edinburgh in 1839. The image was drawn by Colonel Charles Hamilton Smith and expertly hand-colored by an unknown artist. The Mexican coyote, also known as Canis latrans cagottis, is a subspecies of the coyote native to Mexico and Central America. This agile and adaptable predator is known for its versatile diet, which includes rodents, birds, reptiles, and even fruit. The coyote's coat varies in color from grayish-brown to yellowish-gray, with a bushy tail and pointed ears. The engraving captures the coyote's distinctive features, including its pointed ears, bushy tail, and piercing gaze. The intricate details of the fur texture and the lifelike expression of the animal are a testament to the skill of the engraver and the artist. This historical image provides a glimpse into the natural history of the Mexican coyote during the early 19th century. It is a valuable resource for researchers, educators, and anyone interested in the natural world and the history of wildlife illustration. The image is a reminder of the importance of preserving and documenting the natural world for future generations.
