EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration, Drawing 61 Vol 1 by Alfred Waterhouse, showcases the Mazama canepestris guaszuti, a majestic antlered deer species native to South America. Drawn in the late 19th century during the Victorian era, this meticulous work of art was created for the ornamentation of the Natural History Museum in London, designed by Alfred Waterhouse in the 1860s. The museum, a masterpiece of Victorian architecture, first opened its doors on Easter Monday 1881. Waterhouse's intricate drawing of the Mazama canepestris guaszuti, with its impressive antlers adorned with intricate patterns, is a testament to the naturalist's keen observation and artistic skill. The deer is depicted in a naturalistic setting, surrounded by lush vegetation, further emphasizing its connection to the natural world. The drawing is a valuable historical record of the Mazama canepestris guaszuti, which was relatively unknown to Europeans at the time. Waterhouse's illustration not only showcases the physical attributes of the species but also contributes to the scientific record of the natural world during the era of discovery and exploration. The intricate details and lifelike quality of Waterhouse's drawing are a reflection of the high standards of craftsmanship and attention to detail that characterized the Victorian era. The drawing is a reminder of the importance of natural history in the Victorian age and the role that museums and illustrations played in advancing scientific knowledge and appreciation for the natural world.
