EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving titled "Herd of Gnus" we are transported back to the 19th century, where the English School artist skillfully captures a breathtaking scene from nature. The print showcases a vast expanse of land, stretching as far as the eye can see, with an awe-inspiring herd of gnus gracefully moving across it. The composition is meticulously detailed, allowing us to appreciate every nuance in the depiction of these majestic creatures. Their distinctive horns and muscular bodies are rendered with precision, while their synchronized movements create a sense of harmony within the herd. It is evident that each gnu has its own unique personality and role within this tightly-knit community. The artist's choice to present this image in black and white adds an element of timelessness to the piece. The absence of color allows us to focus solely on the form and movement captured in this moment frozen in time. This particular print was originally created for The Penny Magazine in November 1837, showcasing its historical significance. Thanks to digital restoration techniques employed by Look and Learn, we can now enjoy a clean and crisp version that truly brings out all the intricate details intended by the original artist. "Herd of Gnus" serves as a reminder not only of our fascination with wildlife but also our desire to preserve these magnificent creatures for future generations.
