EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the late 19th century showcases an intriguing duo: an Abyssinian Wild Male Ass and a Female Indian Onager. The creator of this remarkable image remains unknown, adding to its air of mystery. Believed to be the ancestor of domestic donkeys, the Abyssinian Ass stands beside its sandy-coated companion, the Indian Onager. Taken from "The Book of the Horse" by S. Sidney, published by Cassell & Company in London, Paris, New York, and Melbourne; this antique lithograph transports us back in time to witness these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat. The brown hues of the landscape perfectly complement the grey tones of these majestic animals. As we gaze upon this portrait, we are reminded of the vast geographical features that define our world - here specifically represented through Ethiopia's desert-like terrain. This equestrian illustration captures a moment during daylight hours when both male and female stand side by side with an undeniable sense of friendship between them. Samuel Sidney's literary work immortalizes not only these extraordinary beings but also serves as a testament to humanity's fascination with nature throughout history. Preserved for generations to come thanks to "The Print Collector" this piece allows us to appreciate and marvel at two distinct species that have left their mark on literature and art alike.
