EDITORS COMMENTS
Lama Glama, also known as the Alpaca, is depicted in this stunning hand-colored lithograph from the 19th century. The illustration, created by Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins and published in "Gleanings from the Menagerie and Aviary at Knowsley Hall: Hoofed Quadrupeds," showcases a herd of adult Lama Glama grazing peacefully in a pastoral setting. Lama Glama is a domesticated species of South American camelid, belonging to the family Camelidae and the order Artiodactyla. They are even-toed ungulates, which means they have two toes on each foot. This herd animal is known for its soft, dense wool, making it a valuable breed for agriculture and textile industries. The Lama Glama was first introduced to Europe in the late 18th century and quickly gained popularity due to its docile nature and valuable wool. In the 1800s, breeding and farming of Lama Glama became a significant industry, especially in countries like Peru, Chile, and Bolivia. The illustration captures the Lama Glama in their natural habitat, which is typically high-altitude grasslands in South America. They are herbivores, feeding on a variety of vegetation, including grasses, leaves, and shrubs. The animals are often kept in herds and are social animals that form strong bonds with each other. This beautiful and intricate drawing by John Edward Gray and Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins provides a glimpse into the past, showcasing the Lama Glama in its natural setting before it became a popular farm animal and textile source. The illustration is a testament to the artistic and scientific interests of the 19th century, making it a valuable addition to any collection of animal art or natural history.
