EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic Sivatherium, a remarkable creature that roamed Africa to the Indian Subcontinent. The artist, Alfred Brehm, skillfully captures the essence of this extinct giraffid species in vibrant color lithography. With its towering height and distinctive antlers-like horns, the Sivatherium stands as a testament to nature's awe-inspiring diversity. The African species of Sivatherium, known as S. maurusium, was once classified under the genus "Libytherium". It is believed to have existed until as recently as 8,000 years ago when it possibly became extinct. Ancient rock paintings found in the Sahara desert bear striking resemblance to this magnificent creature. In this enchanting image, we witness the Sivatherium against an outdoor backdrop – a reminder of its natural habitat and untamed spirit. Its powerful presence evokes both admiration and curiosity about its existence on our planet. As we gaze upon this extraordinary engraving from Prismatic Pictures' private collection, we are transported back in time to appreciate one of Earth's most fascinating creatures. Let us marvel at the intricate details captured by Brehm's artistic prowess - every line and stroke bringing life to this long-lost mammal. This print serves not only as a visual delight but also as a poignant reminder of our responsibility towards preserving Earth's biodiversity for future generations.
