EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Animals and plants of the Abyssinian hill country" takes us on a visual journey through the diverse wildlife and lush vegetation found in the Ethiopian highlands. Created by an unknown European School artist in the 19th century, this colour lithograph showcases several remarkable creatures and plant species that inhabit this enchanting region. The image features a magnificent Two-horned Rhinoceros, gracefully towering Giraffes, a majestic Gnu, and an elegant Water-Buck Antelope gathered around a watering hole. Amidst them stands the unique Wolfs Milk Tree, with its intricate branches reaching towards the sky. The vibrant illustration was originally created for The Instructive Picture Book's second edition in 1877. Transporting us to East Africa's breathtaking landscapes, this artwork captures both the beauty and diversity of nature. It serves as a testament to Ethiopia's rich biodiversity while highlighting its importance in preserving these habitats for future generations. Through this piece, we are reminded of our interconnectedness with nature and how crucial it is to protect these ecosystems from human encroachment. This historical lithograph not only offers aesthetic pleasure but also serves as a valuable educational tool for understanding African flora and fauna during that era. Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate such masterpieces by bringing them into our homes or offices as prints—a reminder of our responsibility to safeguard Earth's natural wonders.
