EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1815, showcasing a remarkable creature that once roamed the South African plains - the Quagga. This extinct mammal, belonging to the Horse family, is beautifully captured in this engraving published in London. The Quagga's distinctive appearance immediately draws our attention. Its front half resembles a horse with its elegant mane flowing down its neck, while its rear half fades into stripes reminiscent of a zebra. The artist skillfully portrays this unique blend of features, creating an intriguing portrait that sparks curiosity about this enigmatic animal. As we gaze at this print, we are reminded of the importance of scientific exploration and natural history documentation. The image serves as a testament to human fascination with wildlife and our desire to understand and preserve it for future generations. Although no longer present in our world today, the Quagga lives on through historical records like this one. It reminds us of how fragile life can be and urges us to appreciate and protect Earth's diverse species. Displayed against a monochrome backdrop, this print captures both the beauty and melancholy surrounding extinction. It invites us to reflect upon humanity's impact on nature while also celebrating the incredible diversity found within it. Thanks to Ann Ronan Pictures for preserving such an invaluable piece of zoological history through their collection.
