EDITORS COMMENTS
This aquatint print, titled "Black rhinoceros, Diceros bicornis, critically endangered" takes us back to the early 19th century when these majestic creatures roamed freely in their natural habitat. The artist behind this masterpiece is William Daniell, a renowned British engraver and painter. The image showcases a black rhinoceros standing near a river bank, its powerful presence dominating the frame. This particular species of rhino, also known as the hook-lipped rhinoceros, was already facing critical endangerment during that time period. The detailed depiction allows us to appreciate the intricate patterns on its rough skin and the sheer strength emanating from its muscular body. Daniell's aquatint technique brings out the rich textures and tonal variations in this artwork. It is part of his larger work called "William Woods Zoography" which aimed to document various animals through scientific illustrations. This print serves as both an artistic representation and a valuable record for natural history enthusiasts. As we admire this piece today, it serves as a poignant reminder of our responsibility towards wildlife conservation. The black rhinoceros remains one of nature's most vulnerable creatures due to poaching and habitat loss. Through art like this aquatint print by William Daniell, we are encouraged to appreciate these magnificent beings while striving for their protection and preservation for generations to come.
