EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting postcard print, titled "American Bison" and published in 1922 by Humphrey Milford's "Postcards for the Little Ones" series, showcases the magnificent American Bison in its natural habitat. The artwork, created by the talented Eileen Hood, captures the raw power and beauty of these iconic creatures. The American Bison, also known as the American Buffalo, once roamed the vast grasslands of North America in enormous herds numbering in the millions. However, by the late 19th century, their population had been decimated due to hunting and habitat loss. By the early 20th century, conservation efforts began, and their numbers slowly began to recover. This postcard print is a testament to the rich history of wildlife conservation in America. The intricate details in Hood's illustration bring the bison's majestic form to life, with their shaggy coats, curved horns, and powerful build. The artist's use of earthy tones adds depth and texture to the image, making it a captivating piece of historical art. The "Postcards for the Little Ones" series, published by Humphrey Milford, was a popular educational tool used to teach children about the natural world. This particular postcard not only showcases the American Bison but also serves as a reminder of the importance of conservation and the role it plays in preserving the natural world for future generations. Today, the American Bison population has rebounded, with over 30,000 living in the wild and over 500,000 in ranches and zoos. This postcard print remains a cherished piece of history, not only for its artistic merit but also for its role in educating children about the natural world and the importance of conservation efforts.
