EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported to the vast and desolate Gobi Desert in Asia. The image captures a remarkable scene of survival and resilience as a camel pulls a carriage across the barren landscape. This moment frozen in time is taken from Victor Meignan's renowned book "From Paris to Pekin over Siberian Snows" published in 1889. The engraving, skillfully executed by Burne Smeeton and Auguste Tilly, beautifully portrays the harshness of this remote wasteland. The chariot trudges through the unforgiving terrain, leaving behind a trail of bones and carcasses that serve as haunting reminders of nature's power. The Bactrian camel with its distinctive humps stands tall against the bleak backdrop, showcasing its strength and adaptability. Its determination to navigate this challenging environment is awe-inspiring. As we gaze at this photograph, our minds wander into the wilderness alongside these brave travelers. We can almost feel the scorching sun on our skin and taste the dryness in our mouths. It serves as a poignant reminder of both human ingenuity and vulnerability when faced with Mother Nature's might. This stunning artwork from Ken Welsh's private collection not only captures an extraordinary moment but also invites us to reflect on our own place within such vast landscapes. It reminds us that even amidst desolation, life finds a way to persist – just like this resilient camel pulling its carriage across Asia's formidable Gobi Desert.
