EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured steel engraving depicts Danube steppe cattle, Bos taurus var. dacicus, a traditional Hungarian domestic breed native to the Danube-Tisza interfluve region in Europe. The Danube steppe cattle are believed to have originated from ancient Asian cattle that were domesticated around 4000 BC. They were well adapted to the harsh climate and grazing conditions of the Danube-Tisza steppe, making them an essential source of food and livelihood for local communities. The image is part of Georg Friedrich Treitschke's Gallery of Natural History, Naturhistorischer Bildersaal des Thierreiches, published in Leipzig in 1842. Treitschke was a renowned German naturalist and zoologist who dedicated his career to documenting and preserving the natural world. His gallery was a significant contribution to the scientific community, showcasing a wide range of animals from various parts of the world. The Danube steppe cattle are characterized by their robust build, long horns, and distinctive coat pattern, which includes a dark stripe down the spine and lighter patches on the legs and underbelly. They were traditionally used for draft work, milk production, and meat production. The breed is now considered rare, with efforts underway to preserve and promote its conservation. This engraving provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the unique characteristics of the Danube steppe cattle and the natural history of the region. It is a testament to the rich cultural and biological heritage of Europe and the importance of preserving it for future generations.
