EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured engraving captures a rare and extraordinary sight - cubs bred between a lion and tigress, just three months old. The image, created by the English School in the 19th century, showcases the incredible beauty and uniqueness of these hybrid creatures. Taken from Georges L. C. Cuvier's renowned publication "The Animal Kingdom arranged in conformity with its organization" this print is a testament to both scientific curiosity and artistic skill. The intricate details of each cub are brought to life through delicate hand tinting, showcasing their distinctive markings and features. Set against an outdoor backdrop, the cubs exude a sense of wildness and freedom. Their full-length view allows us to appreciate their feline gracefulness at such a young age. It is fascinating to observe how they inherit characteristics from both parents – the strength and majesty of the lion combined with the elegance and agility of the tigress. Published in London by G. B. Whittaker between 1827-1835, this print serves as a historical record of an exceptional breeding achievement during that time period. It stands as a testament to human fascination with nature's wonders. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece of art history for our enjoyment today. As we gaze upon these adorable cubs, we can't help but marvel at nature's ability to create something truly extraordinary through crossbreeding two magnificent big cats: lions and tigers.
