Bull Elk Bugling - Vintage Wildlife Illustration #94347 (License: Personal Use)

This finely detailed 19th-century-style engraving depicts a mature male elk (Cervus canadensis) standing alert with its head tilted upward, mouth open in a characteristic bugle call. The artist emphasizes the animal’s massive, palmated antlers, shaggy neck ruff, and muscular build using cross-hatching and stippling techniques. The ground is lightly rendered to suggest a natural woodland or meadow setting, reinforcing the wild essence of the species.
