EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the London Zoo in the year 1870, where a remarkable creature called the Quagga mare once resided. The Quagga was an extinct mammal from South Africa, belonging to the Horse family. This engraving beautifully captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing the unique portrait of this elusive animal. The monochrome tones add an air of mystery and nostalgia to this image, allowing us to appreciate its historical significance. As we gaze at this print, we are reminded of the wonders of science and natural history that have brought us closer to understanding our planet's diverse wildlife. Frederick York skillfully engraved this photograph taken by an unknown creator, ensuring that future generations could marvel at this extraordinary creature. The attention to detail is evident as every line etched into paper brings life to the Quagga mare's features. Through this artwork, we are transported back in time when zoological gardens played a crucial role in educating and fascinating visitors with exotic animals from around the world. Ann Ronan Pictures has preserved this piece of history for all enthusiasts of nature and art alike. Let us cherish these glimpses into our past as they remind us not only of what once existed but also inspire efforts towards conservation today.
