Author: Alessandro Longhi (1733-1813)
Year: 1751
Description: The eighteen year old son of Venetian painter Pietro Longhi etched this print to commemorate the visit of Clara in Venice. Alessandro (1733-1813) mistakenly notes that Clara is from Africa.

Il gran Rinoceronte qui si vede,
Dall’Africa condotto in sto contorno

C della Belua smisurata in fede
Del suo naso cornuto eccovi il corno.
