EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases Neofelis nebulosa diardi, also known as the clouded leopard, as depicted in the 1833 monograph of Felidae, or the Family of Cats, by Daniel Giraud Elliot. The plate was beautifully hand-colored by the skilled artists Joseph Wolf and Joseph Smit. The clouded leopard, a large feline native to the cloud forests of Southeast Asia, is a member of the Felidae family and the Felinae subfamily, order Carnivora, class Mammalia, and subclass Feliformia. The clouded leopard is known for its distinctive coat, which features large, irregularly shaped rosettes and cloud-like markings, giving it its name. This elusive and agile big cat is well adapted to its forested habitat, with powerful limbs and retractable claws that enable it to climb trees with ease. The clouded leopard is a solitary and elusive creature, primarily active during the daytime hours. It is an apex predator, feeding on a variety of prey, including monkeys, deer, and wild pigs. This illustration provides a rare glimpse into the natural history of this fascinating and beautiful animal, captured in exquisite detail during the 19th century. Daniel Giraud Elliot was a renowned American naturalist, ornithologist, and mammalogist, who dedicated his life to the study of the natural world. Joseph Wolf and Joseph Smit were two of the most talented artists of their time, whose work brought Elliot's discoveries to life through their stunning illustrations. This plate is one of 43 hand-colored lithographs in Elliot's monograph, a testament to the beauty and diversity of the Felidae family.
