Bactrian Camel and Dromedaries

This natural history plate depicts several camel species including two-humped Bactrian camels and caparisoned dromedaries set against a desert landscape. Drawn by J. Stewart and engraved by J. Bishop for Oliver Goldsmith's Animated Nature, the scene captures intricate physical traits and traditional saddles. The fine hand-coloured engraving highlights the textures of the animals and distant palm trees. It makes a classic addition to a study or home office.
