EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving from 1874 takes us back in time to the Central Park Zoo in New York City, where an aardvark stands as the star of the show. The intricate details of this American artwork transport us to a late afternoon scene, with straw scattered on the ground and women wearing fashionable hats observing this exotic creature. The aardvark's unique appearance is beautifully captured through its long snout, which it uses for sniffing out insects - its primary source of food. Its large ears and bushy tail add to its charm, making it an intriguing subject for both zoology enthusiasts and art lovers alike. As we gaze at this print, we can almost hear the whispers of spectators discussing this fascinating African mammal. The wooden cage behind it serves as a reminder that zoos have played an important role in showcasing wildlife throughout history. Created by The Granger Collection, known for their exceptional attention to detail and historical accuracy, this print transports us back to 19th-century North America when curiosity about biology and exploration was at its peak. Whether you're interested in natural history or simply appreciate fine art, "aRDVARK" will make a striking addition to any collection or display space.
