EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating lithograph that showcases the intricate details of two camel species and their various uses in different settings. Created by Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins and published by Thomas Varty, this print takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the world of transportation, travel, and agriculture during that time. At its center, we see an Arabian Camel or Dromedary with its distinctive single hump alongside an Asian or Bactrian Camel with two humps. Surrounding these central images are vignettes depicting scenes such as a messenger riding a camel, a caravan crossing a vast desert landscape, camels loaded with merchandise for trade purposes, and even camels mounted with guns for defense. The print also highlights how camels were utilized in everyday life – from providing meat and milk in desert encampments to being used as pack animals for transporting goods. Additionally, it showcases Arab ladies elegantly riding on camels while showcasing vibrant camel hair cloth sold in shops. With its rich colors and attention to detail, "The Camel" serves not only as an artistic masterpiece but also as an educational tool about the importance of these magnificent creatures throughout history. This Victorian-era lithograph offers us a window into British society's fascination with exotic animals and their utility to mankind. It stands as a testament to both scientific exploration and cultural exchange during the 19th century.
