EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored copperplate engraving from the 18th century showcases a variety of equine species, including the domestic donkey, mule, and the extinct quagga. The intricate details captured by Johann Christian Wilhelm Waitz in this piece are truly remarkable, highlighting the unique characteristics of each animal.
The image features a domestic butt, Equus africanus asinus, alongside hybrid mules created through different breeding combinations. The hybrid mulet (ass and mare) and hybrid mule (stallion and female ass) are depicted with precision and accuracy, showcasing the diversity within the equine world.
One of the most intriguing aspects of this print is the representation of the extinct quagga, Equus quagga quagga. This striped horse-like creature once roamed freely in South Africa but sadly became extinct due to overhunting in the late 19th century. Seeing it immortalized in this engraving serves as a poignant reminder of our impact on Earth's biodiversity.
Overall, this artwork is not only visually captivating but also serves as an important historical record of these magnificent animals. It invites viewers to appreciate their beauty and diversity while reflecting on our responsibility to protect endangered species for future generations to come.
