EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph depicts an Arabian horse, Equus caballus var. arabicus, with the distinctive Napoleonic brand on its flank, standing proudly amidst the chaos of a North African battlefield. The Arabian horse, also known as the Arab breed, is a ancient and noble equine breed, native to the Arabian Peninsula. Known for its endurance, agility, and beauty, it has been a source of fascination for centuries. The image, taken from Georg Friedrich Treitschke's "Gallery of Natural History," or "Naturhistorischer Bildersaal des Thierreiches," published in Leipzig in 1842, captures the horse in its natural habitat, surrounded by palm trees and sand dunes. In the background, French soldiers and cannon add a sense of history and adventure to the scene. The Napoleonic brand on the horse's flank is a mark of ownership, indicating that this particular animal was once part of Napoleon Bonaparte's extensive cavalry. The French army, known for its reliance on horses for transportation and warfare, would have valued the Arabian breed for its strength, speed, and endurance. This intricately detailed lithograph, with its vibrant colors and lifelike depiction of the horse and its surroundings, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time of exploration, conquest, and the enduring bond between humans and horses.
