EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcolored copperplate engraving showcases the majestic White or Square-lipped Rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum), a large and powerful mammal native to Africa. The rhino's distinctive features are on full display in this exquisite illustration, with its broad, square-shaped upper lip, white coloration, and prominent horns. The White Rhinoceros, also known as the Square-lipped Rhinoceros, is the largest of the five extant rhinoceros species. They were once widespread across Africa but have been pushed to the brink of extinction due to poaching for their valuable horns. This illustration is from The Naturalist's Pocket Magazine; or, Complete Cabinet of the Curiosities and Beauties of Nature, published by Harrison in London between 1798 and 1802. The Naturalist's Pocket Magazine was a popular natural history publication of the time, featuring high-quality illustrations of a wide range of plants, animals, and minerals. The intricate details of the rhino's anatomy, textures, and colors are beautifully captured in this handcolored engraving. The artist's skillful use of shading and contrast creates a sense of depth and realism, making it a true masterpiece of natural history illustration. The White Rhinoceros was an important symbol of natural history during the 18th and 19th centuries, and this illustration would have been a prized possession for any natural history enthusiast or collector. Today, it serves as a reminder of the rich natural heritage that we must continue to protect and preserve for future generations.
