Published in John Lubbock's Prehistoric Times in 1913, this lithograph beautifully captures the essence of these prehistoric artworks. The focal point of this image is a majestic bison depicted with remarkable detail and precision.

The use of color adds depth and vibrancy to the artwork, allowing us to appreciate its beauty even more.

It serves as a reminder that art has always been an integral part of human culture since time immemorial.
