Camels of the Old World – Plate XLVIII

This nineteenth-century zoological illustration presents the two principal camel species of the Old World: the single-humped dromedary and the two-humped Bactrian camel. Carefully composed desert landscapes provide historical context while preserving the focus on the remarkable anatomy and distinctive characteristics of each animal.

Originally published as part of a Victorian natural history reference, the plate combines scientific accuracy with the elegance of hand-colored lithography. Detailed fur texture, carefully observed anatomy, and finely engraved backgrounds exemplify the craftsmanship of nineteenth-century zoological illustration.
