EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Hippopotamus" takes us back to the pages of The Gentleman's Magazine from December 1772. Created by an anonymous English artist in the 18th century, this print showcases a majestic creature that dwells in the tropical rivers of Africa - the hippopotamus. The image transports us to a serene riverbank where this massive amphibious mammal finds solace amidst lush reeds. Its thick-skinned body stands out against the backdrop, displaying its remarkable adaptation for survival. With a powerful presence and an air of tranquility, it is no wonder why this animal has earned its nickname as the "river horse". As we gaze upon this fine art piece, we are reminded of the unique beauty found in nature's creations. The attention to detail captured by the skilled engraver allows us to appreciate every curve and contour of this herbivorous giant. This historical artwork serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, humans were captivated by wildlife and sought ways to document their existence through artistic expression. Now preserved within private collections, these prints continue to inspire awe and admiration for Earth's diverse inhabitants.
