EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored copperplate engraving, taken from Friedrich Johann Bertuch's "Bilderbuch fur Kinder" or "Picture Book for Children," published in Weimar, Germany, between 1790 and 1830, showcases two magnificent yet distinct species of rhinoceroses: the Black Rhinoceros (Diceros bicornis) and the extinct Sumatran Rhinoceros (Dicerorhinus sumatrensis). The Black Rhinoceros, also known as the hook-lipped rhinoceros, is a critically endangered species native to Eastern and Southern Africa. Its distinctive features include its hooked horns, black skin, and two small, pointed ears. In contrast, the Sumatran Rhinoceros, once found in the forests of Sumatra and Borneo, was an elusive and rare species that became extinct in the late 20th century. This rhino was smaller than its African counterpart, with a prehistoric appearance, a hump on its shoulders, and a prominent, downward-curving horn on its snout. This engraving, created by Abraham Bogaert de Roomesche Monarchy, is a testament to the natural history knowledge of the time. It was produced during the Roman-inspired Nassau-Dietz monarchy in Friesland and Groningen, ruled by Henry Casimir II, Prince of Nassau-Dietz, and his sons, Henry and Casimir. The image is presented in an oval frame, reminiscent of ancient Roman coins and emperors' portraits, emphasizing the importance of these magnificent creatures and their place in the natural world. The intricate details and vibrant colors of this engraving serve as a reminder of the rich history of natural history illustrations and the ongoing efforts to preserve and protect endangered species.
