EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite engraving of a Quagga, a now-extinct South African mammal belonging to the Horse family. Created in 1830 by Lt. -Col. Charles Hamilton Smith, this hand-coloured engraving offers a remarkable glimpse into the natural history of this unique creature. The Quagga's portrait is brought to life through meticulous detailing and vibrant colors, capturing its essence with astonishing accuracy. This artwork was published in London during the same year, making it an invaluable piece for those interested in zoology and scientific exploration. Once abundant on the plains of South Africa, the Quagga possessed a striking appearance with its horse-like body adorned by distinctive stripes that faded towards its rear end. Sadly, due to excessive hunting and habitat loss, this magnificent species became extinct in the late 19th century. Through this enchanting engraving, we are transported back in time to witness one of nature's most extraordinary creations. The artist's skillful rendering allows us to appreciate every intricate feature of this long-lost animal while reminding us of our responsibility to protect and preserve Earth's diverse wildlife. Whether you are an avid collector or simply fascinated by animals and their historical significance, this mesmerizing print serves as both a testament to our planet's rich biodiversity and a poignant reminder of what has been lost forever.
