EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration, titled "Tab 10" and created by I. Johnston for Beschriving Van de Natuur der Vier-voetige Dieren in 1660, showcases the magical allure of three distinct unicorns: Monoceros Unicornu, Caprinus Marinus, and their unnamed counterpart. The unicorn, a mythical equid and odd-toed ungulate, has long been a symbol of purity, grace, and healing in various cultures and mythologies. The first unicorn depicted, Monoceros Unicornu, is the most commonly known type, characterized by a single, spiraling horn on its forehead. The second unicorn, Caprinus Marinus, is a marine unicorn, with a goat-like body and the characteristic unicorn horn, but also a fish tail instead of legs. The third unicorn, with a more traditional equine appearance, adds to the enchantment of this illustration. Johnston's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the intricate depiction of the unicorns' coats, manes, and the delicate curves of their horns. The unicorns are portrayed in a serene setting, surrounded by lush greenery and flowers, further emphasizing their ethereal and mystical nature. As a member of the Perissodactyla order, unicorns share characteristics with real-world animals such as horses and rhinoceroses. They are placental mammals, belonging to the Eutheria group, and are classified under the superorder Hippomorpha, along with other equids and rhinoceroses. Despite their mythical status, unicorns continue to captivate the imagination and inspire wonder in people across generations. This illustration is a testament to the enduring allure of unicorns and the power of art to bring myth and magic to life.
