EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of nature's diverse mammalian kingdom. In this 19th-century masterpiece titled "Boar, pig, tapir and hippo - in Natural histories of mammals" we are transported to a time when artistry met scientific exploration. The unknown artist skillfully portrays four magnificent creatures that have fascinated humans for centuries. The boar stands tall with its powerful physique and rugged appearance, exuding strength and resilience. Next to it, the pig radiates an air of domesticity, reminding us of our close connection to these intelligent animals. Meanwhile, the tapir captivates with its unique blend of elegance and peculiarity; a creature that seems almost otherworldly. Finally, we encounter the majestic hippopotamus – a true behemoth among mammals. Its massive size is juxtaposed against its gentle expression, revealing a hidden grace beneath its intimidating exterior. This artwork was featured in "Natural histories of mammals" edited by Schreiber in 1886 – a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with wildlife throughout history. Leonard de Selva has masterfully captured this image through his lens, preserving it for generations to come. As we gaze upon this extraordinary composition, let us be reminded of the beauty and diversity found within our natural world. May it inspire us to protect and cherish these incredible creatures who share our planet - not merely as subjects for study but as fellow inhabitants deserving respect and preservation.
