About the Item

The engraving presents an ocelot, scientific name Leopardus pardalis, in a naturalistic setting, illustrating the animal in mid-stride, which showcases its spotted coat and muscular build. The ocelot's gaze is directed forward, imbuing the image with a sense of alertness and vitality. Its spotted fur is rendered in fine detail, suggesting the texture and pattern with an accuracy that speaks to the skill of both the artist and the engraver. Engraved by Thomas Landseer, the print is based on an illustration by Charles Hamilton Smith. Smith was a multi-talented military officer, artist, and naturalist, and his depiction of the ocelot here reflects his precise and careful observation. Landseer was known for his ability to capture the essence of the subjects he engraved, a talent that is clearly on display in this work. The print is labeled "Ocelot, No. 1 of Hamilton Smith," indicating that it was part of a series of illustrations by Smith. Hand coloring adds to the visual impact of the piece, highlighting the ocelot's distinctive markings and bringing the scene to life. The grass and ground are rendered in gentle hues, contrasting with the more vividly colored ocelot, which draws the viewer's eye directly to the animal. Published circa 1825, this print was part of the period's movement to document and categorize the natural world, at a time when many species were still being formally described and classified by western science. The attention to detail not only served scientific purposes but also met the Victorian era's demand for exotic and accurate portrayals of the natural world. The work is both a scientific document and an artistic creation, exemplifying the dual roles of natural history illustrations at the time.
