EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "Animals from hot countries" takes us on a visual journey to the exotic realms of German School's 19th-century imagination. Hailing from a private collection, this print is an exquisite example of the enchanting illustrations found in Friedrich Justin Bertuch's "Picture Book for Children" published between 1790 and 1830. The artwork showcases two remarkable creatures that thrive in scorching climates: the Hippopotamus and the Tapir. The artist skillfully captures their unique characteristics, allowing us to marvel at their majestic presence. The Hippopotamus, also known as the Nile horse, stands tall with its massive body and formidable jaws while exuding an air of strength and tranquility. Beside it, we find the Tapir Americanus - a creature resembling a cross between a pig and an anteater - displaying its distinctive snout with grace. Through intricate engravings meticulously brought to life by German School, these animals come alive on paper. Every detail is carefully etched into existence; every line tells a story of nature's diversity and beauty. As we gaze upon this historical masterpiece preserved by ePurix Verlag Volker Christen, we are transported back in time to witness these extraordinary beings up close. Let our eyes wander through each stroke of ink that forms their bodies – reminding us not only of their significance but also igniting our curiosity about distant lands where such magnificent creatures roam freely.
