EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 19th century, capturing the essence of a long-lost species - the Tarpan. The Tarpan was a small prehistoric wild horse that sadly became extinct in the late 1800s. However, this image reveals an intriguing twist in its story. In the early 1930s, scientists embarked on a genetic experiment to revive this magnificent creature using breeds of ponies with Tarpan ancestry. This wood engraving showcases one of these modern genetic creations, highlighting mankind's attempt to restore biodiversity and preserve our natural history. The monochrome tones add depth and timelessness to this snapshot from annals of science and natural history. It serves as a poignant reminder that even in an era when wildlife conservation was not yet at the forefront of public consciousness, there were individuals committed to preserving our planet's rich tapestry of life. As we gaze upon this enigmatic animal frozen in time, we are reminded of both loss and hope. Loss for those original Tarpans who roamed freely centuries ago but also hope for their resurgence through human intervention. Let this image be a testament to our responsibility as stewards of nature's wonders - inspiring us all to protect endangered species today so that future generations may witness their beauty firsthand.
