EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts a Mountain Zebra mare, a victim of the 19th century African exploration and hunting era. The image, titled "Mountain Zebra Mare. First wounded by John Laing, killed by myself. September 1862," is part of a collection of original sketches by Thomas Baines, held in the Rothschild bequest. Baines, an English explorer and artist, documented his experiences during various expeditions in Africa between 1820 and 1875. The illustration, created in 1868, portrays the zebra lying on the African terrain, its once vibrant stripes now dulled by the passage of time. The mare's injuries are evident, with a visible wound on its side, a testament to the violent encounter it endured. The scene is set against a backdrop of rugged, rocky landforms, further emphasizing the harshness of the African wilderness. The Mountain Zebra, scientifically known as Equus zebra, is a species of zebra native to southwestern Africa. These equids are adapted to mountainous and semi-arid environments, making them well-suited to the challenging terrain of their homeland. The presence of this majestic creature in Baines' collection serves as a poignant reminder of the intersection of human exploration, the natural world, and the consequences of human actions. Baines' sketches provide a unique window into the past, offering valuable insights into the natural history, geomorphology, and cultural contexts of Africa during the 19th century. This particular illustration, with its haunting beauty and historical significance, continues to captivate viewers and inspire curiosity about the natural world and the stories it holds.
