EDITORS COMMENTS
This 17th-century artwork showcases a South American camelid, a fascinating creature that has played an integral role in the history and biology of the region. The print depicts four main species of camelids found in South America, each with its own unique characteristics and significance. Llamas and alpacas, two domesticated species, are prominently featured in this illustration. Llamas were commonly used as beasts of burden, aiding humans in transportation and carrying heavy loads. On the other hand, alpacas were bred for their luxurious fur, which is highly valued for its softness and warmth. In addition to these domesticated camelids, there are also guanacos and vicunas depicted in the artwork. These wild creatures roam freely across the vast landscapes of South America. While guanacos are known for their resilience and adaptability to harsh environments, vicunas captivate with their graceful presence. The artist behind this masterpiece is Willem Piso, a Dutch physician and naturalist who dedicated his life to studying the flora and fauna of Brazil during the 17th century. This particular artwork comes from his renowned publication "De medicina Brasiliensi libri quatuor" (Four books of Brazilian medicine), published in 1648. Through this monochrome illustration captured by MIDDLE TEMPLE LIBRARY/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY's lens, we catch a glimpse into both the historical significance and biological diversity present within South America's rich natural heritage.
