EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a small three-toed horse, an ancestor of the modern-day horse, discovered in the fossil beds of South Dakota. The image is a hand-colored halftone reproduction of an illustration dating back to 1903. It offers us a glimpse into the rich history and evolution of these magnificent creatures. The Three-toed Hipparion from the Niobrara beds in South Dakota represents an important link in the story of equine evolution. This prehistoric mammal provides valuable insights into natural selection and how horses have adapted over time.
