EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Llama, Lama glama" takes us on a journey to the enchanting gardens of the Zoological Society. The image showcases the majestic beauty of a domesticated camelid known as Llama, or scientifically named Lama glama. With its regal stature and graceful presence, this South American native captivates our imagination. Handcoloured with meticulous attention to detail, this copperplate engraving by A. A. Park brings out the vibrant colors and intricate patterns adorning the llama's fur. The artist skillfully captures every nuance of this remarkable creature, highlighting its unique characteristics. The illustration itself is derived from William Smellie's translation of Count Georges Buffon's renowned work "History of the Earth and Animated Nature". This collaboration between Smellie and Panormo transports us back to London in 1829 when natural history was at its peak. As we admire this artwork, we are reminded not only of the llamas' significance in South America but also their symbolic representation as a connection between humans and nature. These gentle creatures have long been companions to humans for transportation and wool production. Through Bridgeman Images' lens, we can appreciate both the artistic mastery behind this print and gain insight into our shared history with these extraordinary animals. Let us be transported to another time and place where llamas roamed freely in lush gardens while inspiring awe among all who encountered them.
