EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable engraving titled "The bison and the white bison from Historiae animalium by Konrad Gesner, Tiguri, 1555". Created by an unknown artist in the 16th century, this piece is housed in the Biblioteca Nazionale Braidense in Milan, Italy. The image depicts two majestic creatures - a regular brown bison and a rare white bison. The engraving is part of Konrad Gesner's renowned work on natural history called "Historiae animalium" which was published in Zurich (Tiguri) in 1555. This significant publication aimed to document various species of animals with detailed illustrations and descriptions. The intricate details captured within this engraving are truly awe-inspiring. From the texture of their fur to the strength emanating from their powerful bodies, these magnificent beasts seem to come alive on paper. It serves as a testament to both the artistic skill of the unknown creator and Gesner's dedication to scientific accuracy. As we gaze upon this historical masterpiece, we are reminded of our connection with nature and its diverse inhabitants. The presence of both a regular bison and its unique white counterpart highlights the beauty found within variation and rarity. This print allows us to appreciate not only the artistry but also the importance of preserving knowledge about our planet's rich biodiversity.
