EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning lithograph depicts a white-tailed deer fawn (Odocoileus virginianus), lying gracefully in the dappled sunlight of a North American forest. The fawn, with its delicate spots and long, slender legs, is a common sight in the daytime hours, even though its mother, the common American deer (Cervus virginianus), is typically more active at dawn and dusk. This illustration is Plate 81 from "The Viviparous Quadrupeds of North America," Volume 2, published in 1846 by renowned naturalists John James Audubon (1785-1851) and John Bachman (1790-1874). The meticulous attention to detail in this artwork is evident in the fawn's expressive eyes, the intricately rendered fur patterns, and the lifelike depiction of the forest floor. The white-tailed deer is an even-toed ungulate, belonging to the family Cervidae, and the order Artiodactyla. It is a member of the suborder Cervinae, and the tribe Capreolinae. This eutherian mammal is native to North America and is one of the most widely distributed and abundant large mammals in the continent. The fawn's spotted coat serves as excellent camouflage, allowing it to blend seamlessly into its surroundings and evade predators. John James Audubon, a renowned painter and naturalist, and John Bachman, a naturalist and scientist, collaborated on "The Viviparous Quadrupeds of North America," a comprehensive work documenting the quadrupeds of the United States and Canada. This lithograph is a testament to their dedication to preserving the natural history of North America and showcases the beauty and diversity of its wildlife.
