EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored engraving from the 19th century showcases the now-extinct Quagga, a remarkable South African mammal belonging to the horse family. The print, published in London around 1830 and based on a drawing by Lt. -Col. Charles Hamilton Smith, beautifully captures this majestic creature in all its glory. In this full-length depiction, we witness the Quagga gracefully moving across a vast landscape. Its rich brown coat blends harmoniously with the natural surroundings, creating an enchanting scene that transports us back to a time long gone. With its side view captured perfectly, we can appreciate every detail of this magnificent animal. As we gaze upon this engraved image, it serves as a poignant reminder of our planet's ever-changing history and the delicate balance between nature and human existence. The Quagga's extinction adds another layer of significance to this artwork; it becomes not only an artistic masterpiece but also an invaluable record of a species lost forever. With no people present in the picture, our focus is solely on this solitary creature roaming freely in the wild. This portrayal evokes feelings of nostalgia for times past when animals like the Quagga roamed undisturbed through their natural habitats. This artful creation by Lt. -Col. Charles Hamilton Smith is not just an exquisite example of craftsmanship but also a powerful testament to humanity's impact on Earth's biodiversity throughout history.
