EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Bucephalus, Alexander's favourite Horse" takes us back to ancient times and offers a glimpse into the extraordinary bond between Alexander the Great and his beloved steed. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases Bucephalus, a legendary horse that played a significant role in history. Alexander III of Macedon, famously known as Alexander the Great, considered Bucephalus his most cherished companion. The image portrays their deep connection and mutual trust as they stand side by side. Bucephalus was not just any ordinary animal; he symbolized power, loyalty, and strength. The historical significance of this artwork is undeniable. It transports us to an era when horses were essential for transportation, warfare, and even companionship. In this enchanting scene from Chatterbox magazine in 1877 (digitally cleaned for enhanced clarity), we witness the magnificence of these majestic creatures. From racehorses to ponies and shire horses to stallions – various equine species are represented here alongside Bucephalus. This depiction reminds us of how animals have been integral parts of our lives throughout history – whether on farms or battlefields. As we admire this fine piece from Bridgeman Images' collection without commercial intent but rather with appreciation for its artistic value, let it serve as a reminder of the profound connections humans share with animals across time and cultures.
