EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Tarpan, a small European wild horse that roamed the continent in the 19th century. Created by renowned artist William Home Lizars and featured in William Jardine's Naturalists Library series, this engraving beautifully captures the essence of this now-extinct species. The Tarpan was known for its dun-colored coat, dark mane and tail, making it a striking sight against any landscape. Although small herds managed to survive in remote parts of central Europe, their numbers dwindled until they ultimately became extinct in the early 20th century. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the delicate balance between mankind and nature. It highlights both our fascination with biodiversity and our responsibility to protect these magnificent creatures from extinction. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back to the 19th century when wild animals like horses freely roamed across Europe's vast landscapes. The intricate details captured by Colonel H Smith and William Home Lizars allow us to appreciate not only the beauty of these animals but also their significance within our natural history. Let this photograph serve as an inspiration for future generations to cherish and preserve all forms of wildlife on our planet. May it remind us that every creature plays a vital role in maintaining Earth's rich tapestry of life.
