EDITORS COMMENTS
Berenice Butler's captivating 1923 print captures the majestic beauty and unique character of the Bactrian camel (Camelus bactrianus). This large, even-toed ungulate is a native species of the steppes in Central Asia, making it well-adapted to the harsh desert conditions. The Bactrian camel, named for the ancient Bactrian civilization that once inhabited the region, is easily distinguished from its single-humped Arabian counterpart by its two humps. These humps store fat, providing essential energy during long periods without water or food. Butler's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the intricate texture of the camel's coat, the expressive curve of its neck, and the subtle shading that brings the animal's form to life. The muted colors of the print, reminiscent of the arid desert landscape, further emphasize the camel's natural surroundings. As a pioneering female artist, Berenice Butler made significant contributions to the field of natural history illustration. Her work, which often focused on exotic animals and far-flung locales, was celebrated for its accuracy, artistry, and ability to transport viewers to distant lands. This print of the Bactrian camel is a testament to her skill and passion for the natural world. The Bactrian camel remains an important species in Central Asia, where it plays a vital role in the local economy as a source of milk, meat, and transportation. Today, conservation efforts are underway to protect this remarkable animal and its habitat, ensuring that future generations can continue to marvel at its distinctive features and resilience.
