EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing a magnificent creature that no longer roams our world - the Tarpan. The Tarpan was a small prehistoric wild horse breed that sadly became extinct in the late 1800s. However, this wood engraving allows us to appreciate its beauty and ponder on the concept of biodiversity. Intriguingly, modern science stepped in during the 1930s to revive a genetic creation with pony breeds carrying Tarpan ancestry. This remarkable effort aimed to bring back a glimpse of what once thrived in the wild. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of how human intervention can sometimes attempt to rectify past mistakes. The monochrome tones add an air of mystery and nostalgia as we contemplate these wild animals from centuries ago. Their untamed spirit is palpable through their strong physique and flowing manes captured by Ann Ronan Pictures. Let this print serve as a reminder of both loss and hope - loss for those species that have vanished forever from our planet, but also hope for future endeavors in preserving wildlife diversity. May it inspire us all to cherish and protect the precious creatures that still grace our Earth today.
