EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is an intricately detailed drawing by Alfred Waterhouse for the ornamentation of the Natural History Museum in London, created between 1875 and 1876. Waterhouse's design for the museum, which first opened its doors on Easter Monday 1881, is a masterpiece of Victorian architecture, showcasing his unique blend of Gothic Revival and Romanesque styles. At the heart of this drawing lies a powerful and elegant panther, a member of the Felidae family within the larger order of Carnivora. The panther, a placental mammal belonging to the Feliformia suborder and the Feloidea superfamily, is a representative of the Felidae's big cat genus. The panther's muscular form, with its sleek, spotted coat, is depicted in exquisite detail, reflecting Waterhouse's meticulous attention to naturalistic representation. The artist's skillful use of line and shading creates a sense of depth and texture, bringing the panther to life. This drawing is an essential piece of the Natural History Museum's rich history, showcasing not only Waterhouse's artistic prowess but also the museum's commitment to preserving and celebrating the natural world. The interior of the museum, adorned with such intricate designs, offers visitors a truly immersive experience, transporting them back to the 19th century and inviting them to explore the wonders of the animal kingdom.
