EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the raw power and majesty of an American Bison, also known as a buffalo, in the early 20th century. The image, taken in 1909, is a testament to the rich history of these magnificent creatures that once roamed the vast plains of North America in enormous herds. The American Bison, or Buffalo, is a native species that once numbered in the tens of millions before European settlers arrived in the late 1800s. Hunted relentlessly for their hides, meat, and bones, the population was decimated, with estimates suggesting that only a few hundred remained by the late 1800s. This photograph, taken over a century ago, offers a glimpse into a time when these animals were still abundant. The bison in the image stands proudly, its massive body covered in thick, shaggy fur, its head held high, and its eyes filled with a quiet intensity. The photograph was taken by an unknown photographer and is part of the vast collection of historical images held by Mary Evans Picture Library. The American Bison is now a symbol of the natural heritage of North America, and efforts to preserve and protect their populations have been successful. Today, there are over 30,000 bison living in North America, with herds thriving in national parks and wildlife reserves. This photograph serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving the natural world and the creatures that inhabit it.
