EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving takes us back to the early 19th century, showcasing the now-extinct Quagga species in all its glory. The image beautifully captures a Quagga, scientifically known as Equus quagga, against the backdrop of the majestic Table Mountain at Cape of Good Hope. Engraved by Scott after Craig for "The Gallery of Nature and Art". Volume II published in London circa 1823, this print is a true testament to the artistry and precision of that era. The Quagga's unique appearance is strikingly portrayed in intricate detail through delicate lines and shading techniques. Its distinctively striped coat merges seamlessly with its surroundings, creating a harmonious blend between nature and animal. This horizontal illustration transports us to an era when these magnificent creatures roamed freely across South Africa's plains. Sadly, due to excessive hunting and habitat loss, the last wild Quagga died in captivity over a century ago. Today, only preserved specimens like this engraving serve as reminders of their existence. Ken Welsh has masterfully captured not just an animal but also a poignant moment frozen in time - one that urges us to reflect on our responsibility towards preserving Earth's diverse species. As we gaze upon this enchanting scene from centuries past, may it inspire us to cherish our planet's natural wonders and work tirelessly towards conservation efforts for future generations.
