EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate print showcases the grace and elegance of Imaum, a celebrated Thoroughbred Arabian horse, as captured by the skilled artistry of E. Williams in 1848. The image is based on William Smellie's translation of Count Georges Buffon's seminal work, "History of the Earth and Animated Nature," published by Thomas Kelly in London. Imaum, with his sleek coat, arched neck, and piercing eyes, stands proudly against a backdrop of lush greenery, evoking a sense of power and beauty. The tranquil scene is further enhanced by the presence of various domestic animals, including goats (Capra aegagrus hircus) and a fallow deer (Dama dama), both of which were common sights on the estates of the aristocracy during this period. The male stag (Cervus elaphus) in the foreground, with its impressive antlers and regal demeanor, adds to the overall sense of natural grandeur. The print provides a fascinating glimpse into the natural world of the 19th century, showcasing not only the beauty of the horse but also the diversity of the animal kingdom. Buffon's work was a groundbreaking contribution to the scientific study of natural history, and this print is a testament to the enduring appeal of his ideas. The meticulous attention to detail in the engraving, combined with the vibrant colors of the hand-coloring, make this a truly captivating work of art that continues to inspire and delight.
