HYRAX, Western Tree, 1812 Copper Engraving Print

Description: This is a phenomenal antique print that is almost 200 years old (1812). It depicts what I believe is the Western Tree Hyrax is found in West and Central Africa: Benin, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Republic of the Congo, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ivory Coast, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Liberia, Nigeria, Rwanda, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Sudan, Togo, Uganda, and possibly Niger. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, moist savanna, and rocky areas. The caption reads "Marmot of Cape of Good Hope or Klipdas", but I believe this was an old name for the Hyrax. Write me if I have this ID wrong! The print is a high quality antique engraving. It is hard to scan a fine engraving like this, but under a magnifying glass, you'll see amazing crisp fine engraved lines. The paper is of high quality so it holds the details well. There may be minor foxing or smuges in the margin (see scan).The page measures approx. 5 x 8 inches, and the actual image size (without margins) is approx. 3 x 5 inches. This is NOT a recent copy or modern reproduction, but a GENUINE item from that era. It would look wonderful framed as a gift. All prints are delivered in an archival sleeve and packed flat with heavy cardboard (or rolled in a sturdy tube).
