EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Mr Rarey with the Tamed Zebra before the Queen" takes us back to a remarkable moment in history. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print captures the extraordinary talent of Mr John Solomon Rarey, one of the renowned horse whisperers of his time. In this scene, we witness Mr Rarey's incredible ability to tame even the wildest creatures as he stands confidently beside a tamed zebra. The sheer contrast between man and beast is striking; it symbolizes both human dominance over nature and our innate connection with these majestic animals. What makes this image all the more intriguing is its historical context. It depicts a significant event where Mr Rarey presents his exceptional skills before none other than Her Majesty, Queen Victoria herself. As spectators look on in awe, one can only imagine their astonishment at witnessing such harmony between man and untamed animal. The engraving was originally published as an illustration for The Illustrated Times on July 10th, 1858 – a testament to its enduring impact on society during that era. Preserved within a private collection today, this artwork serves as a reminder of humanity's fascination with conquering nature's challenges through patience and understanding. Bridgeman Images has once again brought us closer to history through Fine Art Finder, allowing us to appreciate not only artistic mastery but also moments that have shaped our collective narrative.
