EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning depiction of the Rock hyrax, also known as Procavia capensis or dassie. The image was created by Heinrich Harder in 1908 and is part of a private collection. The Rock hyrax, resembling a combination of rabbit and guinea pig, is beautifully illustrated with vibrant colors and intricate details. This small mammal, native to Africa, is often found in rocky habitats where it seeks shelter from predators. Heinrich Harder was not only an accomplished landscape artist but also a talented book illustrator. His skillful rendering brings this ancient creature to life on paper, capturing its essence and unique characteristics. The print originates from Wilhelm Bolsches Tiere der Urwelt (Animals of the Prehistoric World), published by Reichardt Cocoa company in Hamburg. It offers a glimpse into the natural history of these fascinating animals that have roamed our planet for centuries. With its historical significance and scientific accuracy, this artwork serves as both an aesthetic delight and valuable educational resource. It transports us back to the early twentieth century when scientific methods were advancing rapidly in understanding wildlife and natural sciences. This print exemplifies the intersection between artistry and zoology while providing insight into German culture during that time period. Its inclusion in Fine Art Finder's collection ensures its preservation for future generations to appreciate the beauty of nature through artistic representation.
