EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century print captures a heartwarming scene of unlikely companionship. In the image, a female goat tenderly suckles a foal while perched on top of a sturdy wooden barrel. The delicate hand-coloured copperplate engraving brings to life this anecdote by Charles Sonnini from his edition of Buffon's Natural History. The print is part of Reverend Thomas Smith's renowned work, "The Naturalists Cabinet" which offers fascinating insights into animal history. It showcases the remarkable bond between two different species - Capra aegagrus hircus and Equus ferus caballus - as they share an intimate moment of nursing. Amidst the backdrop of Albion Press in London during 1806, this scientific illustration serves as both an educational tool and an artistic masterpiece. The intricate details highlight not only the beauty and gracefulness of these animals but also their natural instincts for nurturing. From racehorses to ponies, shire horses to stallions, this print encompasses various wildlife creatures that coexist harmoniously within our livestock farms. It reminds us that even amidst diverse species, compassion knows no bounds. As we gaze upon this enchanting portrayal captured by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded of nature's wonders and its ability to forge unexpected connections among living beings.
