EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print titled "Wasserschwein" transports us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the world of European wildlife. The artwork, created by an anonymous artist from the European School, showcases a fascinating creature known as the Wasserschwein or capybara. The image is part of a private collection and was originally featured in Brehms Thierleben Allgemeine Kunde des Thierreichs, published by Bibliographischen Instituts around 1880-90. With its vibrant colors and intricate details, this print captures the essence of nature's beauty. The Wasserschwein itself is an intriguing mammal that dwells in aquatic environments. Native to South America, it holds the distinction of being the largest rodent species on Earth. Its unique appearance and behavior make it a subject of fascination for both historians and nature enthusiasts alike. As we admire this historic artwork, we are reminded of our connection with animals throughout history. It serves as a reminder that our planet has always been home to diverse creatures that have adapted to their surroundings in remarkable ways. Through this chromolitho print, Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate not only the artistic talent behind capturing such natural wonders but also encourages us to cherish and protect these incredible beings who share our world.
