EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph, titled "Zebra, Quagga, Donkey, and Arabian Horse," is an exquisite illustration from the Natural History (Naturgeschichte) series by the renowned German naturalist, Gotthilf Heinrich von Schubert. Published in Munich in 1886 by Schreiber, this masterpiece showcases four distinct equids: a zebra (Equus zebra), a quagga (Equus quagga quagga), a donkey (Equus asinus), and an Arabian horse (Equus ferus caballus). The zebra, with its iconic black and white stripes, is a native of Africa and is known for its distinctive hippotigris pattern on its rump. The quagga, now extinct, was a subspecies of zebra native to South Africa, characterized by its brown stripes that faded to white at the belly and legs. The donkey, depicted in the lower left corner, is a domesticated equid, descended from the wild African ass. Donkeys are known for their strong and sturdy build, making them excellent pack animals. The Arabian horse, depicted in the upper right corner, is a breed of horse that originated in the Arabian Peninsula. Known for its elegant and slender build, Arabian horses are prized for their endurance, intelligence, and beauty. This stunning illustration not only showcases the natural history of these magnificent animals but also highlights the meticulous attention to detail and artistic skill of Gotthilf Heinrich von Schubert and his team of skilled craftsmen. It is a testament to the beauty and diversity of the natural world and a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating the natural history of our planet.
