EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating 19th-century lithograph by Edward Williams Clay. This print transports us to an African zoological garden where these magnificent creatures roam freely. The artist skillfully captures the essence of Africa's diverse wildlife, showcasing not only giraffes but also antelopes, bonteboks, elands, gemsboks, and goats. Clay's attention to detail allows us to appreciate the intricate patterns on each animal's coat as they gracefully move through their natural habitat. The towering presence of the giraffes adds a sense of majesty and wonder to this scene. Their long necks reach towards the sky like living sculptures against the backdrop of an open savannah. This artwork serves as a reminder of our fascination with exotic animals during that era when travel was limited for many Americans. It offers a glimpse into distant lands and cultures while highlighting America's growing interest in zoology and exploration. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, this lithograph has become a cherished tourist attraction for visitors from all over the world. Its historical significance lies not only in its artistic beauty but also in its documentation of species that may have faced endangerment or extinction since then. Edward Williams Clay's masterpiece continues to captivate viewers today, inviting us to appreciate both the grandeur of nature and humanity's enduring curiosity about our planet’s remarkable
