EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Bactrian Camel, captured in the pages of Conrad Gessner's renowned work, Historiae Animalium. Created by the Swiss School during the 16th century, this hand-coloured woodcut from c. 1551-58 is now part of a private collection known as The Stapleton Collection. The image beautifully captures the essence of this majestic Asian ungulate with its distinctive two humps and graceful stature. A skilled handler can be seen guiding the camel, highlighting their close relationship and mutual understanding. Gessner's Historiae Animalium was an influential zoological encyclopedia that aimed to document and illustrate various animal species found across the world. This particular depiction serves as a testament to Gessner's meticulous attention to detail and his passion for scientific observation. The rich hues used in hand-colouring this woodcut enhance every intricate feature of the Bactrian Camel, allowing viewers to appreciate its unique characteristics even more deeply. From its expressive eyes to its sturdy frame, every aspect is brought to life through this artistic medium. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded of nature's wonders and our interconnectedness with these magnificent creatures who have roamed our planet for centuries.
