About the Item

Title: Die Giraffe (Giraffe) - Hand-Colored Zoological Print, Circa 1840 Description: This remarkable hand-colored lithograph, titled "Die Giraffe" (The Giraffe), illustrates the *Camelopardalis Giraffa Gm.* in an elegant and stately pose. Created around 1840, this print beautifully captures the giraffe in a serene African landscape, with palm trees and open skies in the background. The artwork highlights the giraffe's characteristic long neck, spotted coat, and graceful stature, combining artistic finesse with scientific detail typical of 19th-century zoological illustrations. The accompanying German text provides a fascinating description of the giraffe: "The giraffe is known for its extraordinary height, attributed to its long neck and legs. Its striking coat features unique spots that vary among individuals, and its horns are small and covered with skin. Giraffes are gentle and feed on leaves from high branches, using their prehensile tongues to grasp foliage. They can reach heights of up to 18 feet and weigh over 2,000 pounds. The giraffe's large, expressive eyes and long eyelashes give it excellent vision and a charming appearance. Despite its size, it moves with grace and speed when necessary." The condition of this print is good, with vibrant hand-coloring that highlights the giraffe’s distinctive coat and the lush greenery of its habitat. The paper is of high quality, showing only minor foxing and slight discoloration at the edges, which are typical for prints of this age and add to its authenticity. The overall image remains crisp and well-preserved, showcasing the fine craftsmanship of this zoological artwork. This rare and beautifully executed print is a perfect addition to any natural history or wildlife art collection. Its timeless appeal and exceptional quality make it a standout piece for enthusiasts of 19th-century illustrations and those who appreciate the majestic beauty of the giraffe.
