Rhinoceros, Berlin
Signed aquatint and etching from a small edition of 20 only.
The rhino reproduced here, etched with aquatint by Rigby Graham, is the 20th century successor to Jan Wandelaar's 18th century engraving. It portrays one of the Northern White Rhinos introduced to West Berlin Zoo in 1963 from the Hluhluwe–Imfolozi reserve in South Africa. Today, the Northern White Rhino is now ‘functionally extinct’; there are only two females left, making it the most endangered mammal on earth. Unwittingly, Graham’s image depicts the last of its kind.
