This color print titled "Zebras in harness, South Africa" takes us back to the early 20th century. The image showcases a remarkable sight of zebras harnessed and pulling a cart, an unusual spectacle that piques our curiosity. The English photographer behind this masterpiece is R O Fusslein, whose signature adds authenticity to this postcard from South Africa. In this intriguing composition, we see several men standing beside the striped zebras and their carriage. It's fascinating how these wild animals appear tamed and comfortable in their harnesses, defying our expectations. The presence of trees in the background enhances the natural ambiance surrounding this bizarre scene. The photograph captures not only a unique moment but also provides insight into the relationship between humans and animals during that time period. This postcard serves as a testament to man's ability to tame even the wildest creatures for practical purposes like transportation. As we delve deeper into this image, it becomes evident that it holds historical significance within Johannesburg's botany and natural history realms.
