Daniel C. Toledo is widely credited with introducing scratchboard as a serious fine art medium in the field of wildlife art. Working from his studio in the United States, Toledo has spent decades creating original scratchboard works of extraordinary technical precision. Each one is built by scratching white lines and forms into a black-surfaced board, revealing the white clay beneath with a control that approaches the supernatural.
Leopard Cub and the Spider’s Web is among his most compelling works. A young leopard rests on a fallen log in dense tropical jungle, alert, composed, entirely at home in the darkness. To the upper right, an intricate spider’s web catches the available light. Each individual strand is scratched with the same obsessive care as the leopard’s spotted coat.
This impression, number 83 from an edition of 250, carries an original hand-drawn Remarque in the lower margin. A small pencil sketch of a leopard cub, drawn by Toledo’s own hand, unique to this impression. The Remarque transforms a limited edition print into something closer to an original drawing.
