EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcolored engraving depicts a majestic horse, Equus caballus, in all its beauty and grace. The image is taken from Charles d'Orbigny's Dictionnaire Universel d'Histoire Naturelle (Universal Dictionary of Natural History), published in Paris in 1849. The illustration was created by the skilled hands of Susemihl and masterfully engraved by Fournier. The horse, a domesticated animal and one of the most ancient companions of humans, is depicted here in its natural splendor. With its powerful yet elegant build, the horse has been a source of inspiration and admiration for countless generations. Its large, expressive eyes convey a sense of intelligence and curiosity, while its mane and tail flow gracefully in the wind. The intricate details of the horse's anatomy are expertly rendered in this engraving, from the delicate lines of its muscles to the intricacies of its hooves. The use of handcoloring adds a vibrant and lifelike quality to the image, bringing the horse to life on the page. Charles d'Orbigny's Dictionnaire Universel d'Histoire Naturelle was a groundbreaking work that aimed to document the natural world in all its diversity. With its high-quality illustrations and meticulous attention to detail, it remains a valuable resource for scholars and enthusiasts of natural history to this day. This beautiful engraving of the horse is a testament to the artistry and scientific rigor of the time, and serves as a reminder of the enduring bond between humans and these magnificent creatures.
