EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts a Hartbeest, also known as a Common or Cape Gazelle, a large and historically significant antelope species native to Africa. The Hartbeest is the most common of the larger gazelles, making it a prominent figure in the African savannah. This particular specimen hails from the region of the Cape, a historical area that has long been home to diverse wildlife and natural beauty. The Hartbeest is a graceful and agile creature, with a distinctive, elongated face and slender, elegant body. Its coat is a rich, reddish-brown color, with white spots on its sides and a white rump. The antlers of the male Hartbeest, which can weigh up to 15 pounds, are a striking feature, curving gracefully above its head. The Hartbeest has played an important role in African history, both as a source of food and as a subject of artistic and cultural expression. In the past, these antelopes were hunted for their meat, which was considered a delicacy, and their hides were used for clothing and other purposes. Today, the Hartbeest remains an iconic symbol of the African continent and a beloved subject of wildlife photography and conservation efforts. This beautiful print, produced in the year 1790, is a testament to the enduring fascination with the natural world and the role that the Hartbeest has played in African history and culture. The print, from the Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when the Hartbeest roamed freely across the African savannah, a symbol of strength, grace, and beauty.
