EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite 19th-century artwork of the majestic Old English Black Horse, a breed that epitomizes strength and elegance. The stallion depicted in this lithograph is a remarkable representation of the domesticated horse, Equus caballus. The artwork originates from the renowned 2-volume publication titled "The Breeds of the Domestic Animals of the British Islands" (1842), authored by Scottish agriculturalist David Low. The talented Scottish artist William Shiels skillfully brought this magnificent creature to life on paper. With its striking presence and powerful physique, this black beauty stands as a testament to centuries of selective breeding and admiration for equine excellence. Its glossy coat glistens under natural light, accentuating every muscle and curve with grace. As we delve into history through this exceptional piece, we are transported back to an era when horses played an integral role in agriculture and transportation. This artwork not only captures the essence of British heritage but also serves as a valuable reference for zoologists, historians, and enthusiasts alike. Preserved by the Natural History Museum in London's Science Photo Library collection, this print offers us a glimpse into both artistic mastery and biological significance. It reminds us that behind every great work lies meticulous research and dedication to preserving our rich cultural legacy.
