EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artwork titled "Dead common warthogs" by Thomas Baines, an esteemed English artist from the 19th century. The drawing depicts two young wart hogs, known as matabili golube, lying lifeless on the ground. Shot by Baines himself in October 1870 southwest of the Bembesi River, this sketch offers a glimpse into his adventurous expedition through Africa. The intricate illustration captures the essence of these wild creatures with great precision and attention to detail. It is evident that Baines possessed a deep appreciation for nature and its diverse fauna. The image portrays the vulnerability and beauty of these even-toed ungulates belonging to the suidae family. Brimming with historical significance, this original nineteenth-century artwork not only serves as a testament to Baines' artistic prowess but also provides valuable insights into African wildlife during that era. With pencil strokes that breathe life into every line, this piece exemplifies both scientific accuracy and artistic excellence. Preserved within the Natural History Museum in London's extensive collection, this extraordinary artwork stands as a tribute to exploration and biology alike. As we gaze upon these deceased warthogs immortalized on paper, we are reminded of our interconnectedness with nature and humbled by its vast wonders.
