EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century lithograph print, titled "Gnu, from Quadrupeds series (N41) for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes, 1890" is a true testament to the rich heritage of America. Created by Allen & Ginter, renowned pioneers in commercial colour lithography during that era, this artwork showcases their exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail. The image transports us to the untamed wilderness of the United States, where a majestic gnu stands amidst a vibrant landscape adorned with cacti and other native plants. Its impressive horns proudly crown its head as it gazes into the distance with an air of strength and resilience. Although fictional characters like Tarzan may come to mind when admiring this wild animal's presence, it serves as a reminder of the diverse wildlife that once roamed freely across our great country. This piece captures not only the beauty but also the scientific significance of these creatures within our natural history. Printed using lithotint techniques on high-quality paper, every brushstroke and intricate detail is masterfully preserved. The result is an exquisite representation that allows us to appreciate both artistry and nature simultaneously. As we admire this stunning portrayal of a wildebeest or gnu—symbolizing freedom and vitality—we are reminded of America's deep connection with its wildlife. This print serves as a timeless tribute to our nation's rich biodiversity while honoring Allen & Ginter's contribution to American art history through their groundbreaking printing techniques.
