EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1893, when an engraving of a Quagga was published in London. The Quagga, a now-extinct South African mammal from the Horse family, is beautifully portrayed in this portrait. Its unique markings and features are meticulously captured by the unknown creator of this artwork. The Quagga's striking appearance immediately draws our attention - its body covered in stripes that fade into a solid color towards its rear end. This monochrome depiction allows us to appreciate the intricate details of this magnificent creature. As we gaze upon this print, we can't help but feel a sense of awe for these animals that once roamed freely across South Africa. It serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving our natural world and protecting endangered species. This image also highlights the significant role that science and natural history play in documenting and understanding our planet's biodiversity. Through engravings like this one, scientists were able to study and classify different species, contributing valuable knowledge to zoological gardens and research institutions. Ann Ronan Pictures has preserved this historical piece with great care, allowing us to admire it even after more than a century has passed since its creation. As we contemplate this engraving, let us reflect on how much our world has changed over time while cherishing the beauty found within it.
