EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 17th century, offering a glimpse into the early stages of species classification. The image showcases an intriguing woodcut from "Handelende van de Natuere" a Dutch edition of Pliny's Natural History published in Amsterdam in 1644. In this pre-binomial classification system, we witness the meticulous documentation of two different species of camels. The names are presented in Hebrew, Latin, and Dutch languages, highlighting the international significance and interest surrounding scientific discoveries during that time. Although only one species is depicted - the Bactrian camel - this print serves as a testament to humanity's thirst for knowledge about our natural world. It symbolizes our relentless pursuit to understand and categorize every living organism on Earth. The monochrome black and white aesthetic adds an air of antiquity to this piece, transporting us back centuries ago when scientific exploration was still in its infancy. As we observe this historical artifact today, it reminds us how far we have come in terms of biological understanding and taxonomy. Preserved by Oxford Science Archive and now made available through Heritage Images, this remarkable photograph captures not just an image but also a moment frozen in time – a snapshot of humanity's quest for knowledge about the diverse creatures that inhabit our planet.
