EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting image captures a scene from the late 19th century in the Arctic Circle, where two polar bear cubs fiercely defend the body of their mother who has been shot by hunters. The heartbreaking display of loyalty and protection is both heart-wrenching and powerful. The intricate details of this engraving from El Mundo Ilustrado, published in Barcelona circa 1880, transport us back to a time when hunting these majestic creatures was not only common but also celebrated. The stark contrast between the innocence of the cubs and the tragedy of their mother's death serves as a poignant reminder of the impact humans have had on wildlife throughout history. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of our responsibility to protect and preserve endangered species like the polar bear. Their survival depends on our ability to coexist peacefully with nature and respect all living beings that share our planet. Let this image serve as a call to action, urging us to reflect on our relationship with wildlife and strive towards creating a more harmonious world where animals are revered rather than hunted for sport or profit. May we learn from past mistakes and work towards a future where scenes like this one are no longer commonplace.
