Dürer painted the hare from close observation, rendering each hair with extraordinary patience and technical control: the texture of the fur, the slightly damp appearance of the animal's nose, the precise rendering of the eye with its reflected light, and the delicate quality of the ears.

Word of the animal spread quickly, and within months Albrecht Dürer (1471–1528) had made his famous woodcut based on a written description and a rough sketch, never having seen the animal himself. The result is one of the most celebrated images in the history of printmaking: a rhinoceros rendered with extraordinary confidence and detail, yet anatomically quite unlike an actual rhinoceros, with an extra horn at the shoulders, heavily plated skin suggesting armour, and a general impression of mechanical improbability that somehow manages to convey the genuine strangeness of the creature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDürer's \u003cem\u003eRhinoceros\u003c\/em\u003e was reproduced and copied for the next two centuries and became the standard European image of the animal.

She built a specially designed glass-fronted studio that allowed her to observe her feline subjects at close quarters while they went about their lives.

Remington solved the considerable technical challenge of balancing the bronze on two rear hooves by concentrating weight at the base and using the horse's tail as a third point of support.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe sculpture entered the permanent collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and has since been cast in numerous editions; copies have occupied the Oval Office of the White House under several administrations, lending it a peculiar double life as both fine art and political symbol. For Remington, the work was personal — an act of preservation as much as invention, made at the moment when the frontier he had documented was being absorbed into national mythology. The image reproduced here — bold, kinetic, resolved in silhouette — captures the bronze as it was meant to be seen: from below, against the sky.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis edition is released to mark the 250th anniversary of the United States. The Broncho Buster is one of the defining images of American identity — a nation that mythologised its own frontier almost as it lived it. At 250, that myth is still very much alive.
