EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph by Karl Joseph Brodtmann showcases the majestic Aurochs and American Bison, two iconic creatures from the past. Created in 1836 as part of Heinrich Rudolf Schinz's Illustrated Natural History of Men and Animals, this print beautifully captures the essence of these magnificent animals. The Aurochs, Bos primigenius, is depicted with its strong build and imposing horns. Once widespread across Europe, this ancient species sadly became extinct in the early 17th century. Its presence in this lithograph serves as a reminder of its historical significance. In contrast, the American Bison, Bison bison, stands tall beside the Aurochs. This symbol of strength and resilience was an integral part of Native American culture and played a vital role in shaping North America's ecosystem. Although their numbers were drastically reduced due to hunting and habitat loss during westward expansion in the 19th century, conservation efforts have helped revive their populations today. Brodtmann's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his engraving technique. The black-and-white composition adds a timeless quality to this piece while emphasizing the intricate textures found on both animals' fur and skin. As we gaze upon this lithograph from centuries past, we are reminded not only of these remarkable creatures but also our responsibility to protect and preserve Earth's diverse wildlife for future generations.
