EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration, found on page 150 of Charles Darwin's Journal of Researches in the first illustrated edition of 1890, depicts a scene of Buenos Aires in Argentina during Darwin's voyage on the HMS Beagle. The focus of the drawing is on a group of bullock-wagons, a common mode of transportation during that time. The illustration showcases a collection of equines, specifically horses, pulling the wagons laden with cattle, most likely Bos taurus or domestic cattle. The bovids, or cattle, are tethered to the wagons, adding weight and stability to the load. Bullock-wagons were an essential aspect of transportation in South America during the 19th century, enabling the movement of goods and people over long distances. The use of both horses and cattle in this mode of transportation was a practical solution to the challenging terrain and climate. This illustration is a testament to the interconnectedness of various animal species, including equids (horses), bovids (cattle), and even other mammals, in the daily life of people during that era. The horses, members of the Equidae family, were used for their strength and agility, while the cattle, belonging to the Bovidae family and the Artiodactyla order, provided both labor and sustenance. The intricate details of the drawing, from the textures of the hides to the expressions of the animals, highlight the skill and artistry of the illustrator. This illustration is an invaluable record of the past, offering a glimpse into the daily life and transportation methods of the time, as well as the diverse range of mammals, including equines, bovids, and other artiodactyls, that played a role in shaping human history.
