EDITORS COMMENTS
This drawing by Alfred Waterhouse, created in the late 19th century, showcases a magnificent goat design for the ornamentation of the Natural History Museum in London. Waterhouse, a renowned Victorian architect, designed the museum in the 1860s, and it opened its doors to the public on Easter Monday, 1881. This intricate illustration is a testament to Waterhouse's exceptional artistic abilities and his deep appreciation for the natural world. The goat, a member of the order Artiodactyla and the family Bovidae, is a ungulate, or even-toed ungulate, and belongs to the suborder Caprinae. Goats are agile and sure-footed animals, with a distinctive appearance characterized by their curved horns, bearded faces, and slender bodies. This drawing captures the essence of the goat's graceful form and powerful presence. Waterhouse's goat design is a beautiful example of the intricate detail and artistry that adorned the Natural History Museum during the Victorian era. The drawing showcases the goat's anatomy with precision and accuracy, highlighting its muscular form and elegant curves. The goat's horns are rendered with remarkable detail, curving gracefully above its head and adding to the animal's regal appearance. This goat design is a reminder of the rich history and artistic legacy of the Natural History Museum in London. Waterhouse's vision for the museum was to create a space where science and art could coexist, and this drawing is a testament to that vision. The goat design is a celebration of the natural world and the beauty of the animal kingdom, and it continues to inspire and captivate viewers more than a century after it was first created.
