EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration, Drawing 62 Vol 1, showcases the majestic Mazama güazú, also known as the Alpine Ibex or Andean Ibex, as designed by the renowned British architect and artist Alfred Waterhouse for the ornamentation of the Natural History Museum in London. Dating back to the late 19th century, Waterhouse's masterpiece, which first opened its doors on Easter Monday 1881, is a testament to the intricate detail and artistry of the Victorian era. The illustrated Mazama güazú, a large and powerful goat species native to the Andes Mountains, is depicted with its impressive curved horns, which are a hallmark of this magnificent mammal. This even-toed ungulate, belonging to the family Bovidae and the order Artiodactyla, is a member of the Caprinae subfamily, which also includes goats and sheep. Waterhouse's meticulous drawing highlights the animal's muscular physique, agile stance, and the intricate texture of its coat. The Alpine Ibex is an important species in the Epitheria order, which includes placental mammals, and is a vital component of the alpine ecosystem. The illustration serves as a reminder of the natural beauty and diversity of the world that inspired Waterhouse and continues to captivate us today. Waterhouse's design, with its intricate details and lifelike quality, is a testament to his exceptional talent as an artist and architect. His work continues to inspire and influence the world of art and design, making this illustration a valuable addition to any collection of natural history or historical art.
