About the Item
Title: 1845 Hand-Colored Engraving of Wildebeest – Blue & Black Gnu by William Jardine
Description:This exquisite 1845 hand-colored engraving features detailed illustrations of two wildebeest species: the Blue Wildebeest (Connochaetes taurinus) and the Black Wildebeest (Connochaetes gnou).
The engraving showcases the distinctive characteristics of each species. The Blue Wildebeest is depicted with its robust frame, slate-gray coat, and signature dark vertical stripes, highlighting its adaptation to the African savannas. In contrast, the Black Wildebeest is illustrated with its unique forward-curving horns, dark mane, and reddish-brown coloration, reflecting its presence in the grasslands of South Africa. The meticulous hand-coloring brings vibrancy to the illustration, enhancing the lifelike representation of these animals.
This particular engraving exemplifies the blend of artistry and scientific observation characteristic of the period, making it a valuable piece for collectors of antique zoological prints and enthusiasts of African wildlife.
Condition: The print is well-preserved, displaying vivid hand-coloring with some age-related toning but colors still vived. Slight edge wear consistent with its age.
Matting & Framing Tips:
To accentuate the engraving's historical charm, consider using a cream or light beige mat paired with a classic dark wooden frame. Utilizing UV-protective glass will help preserve the vibrant hand-coloring and prevent potential fading over time.
Published circa 1845.
