This reproduction of a mammal illustration features a brown bear (Ursus arctos) in its natural environment. The main subject is depicted in an imposing posture, while the wooded background includes silhouettes of foxes, thus illustrating the forest ecosystem as imagined in 19th-century works.
Extracted from Charles d’Orbigny’s Dictionnaire Universel d’Histoire Naturelle, this engraving is an example of high-quality scientific popularization from the 1841-1849 period. The treatment of the fur and the landscape composition underline the documentary intention and the talent of the period's draftsmen.
Ideal for sober and authentic decoration, this reproduction is aimed at enthusiasts of wildlife and historical documents. It allows one to appreciate the art of scientific drawing applied to large quadrupeds.
