EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Eland: A Gentle Giant of the African Savannah" This image of an eland, a majestic antelope native to Africa, is a beautiful example of the exquisite artistry from the "Wild Life series" published by Humphrey Milford in 1922. The series, which was designed specifically for children, aimed to introduce young minds to the diverse and fascinating world of wildlife. The artist behind this particular print is Eileen Hood, whose masterful use of color and detail brings the eland to life in a way that is both enchanting and educational. The eland, the largest antelope in the world, can be found roaming the savannas and woodlands of sub-Saharan Africa. With its elegant, slender body and striking, spiraled horns, this magnificent creature is a true symbol of the African wilderness. In this print, Hood has expertly captured the eland's grace and power, as it gazes calmly at the viewer with its large, expressive eyes. The intricate details of the eland's coat, with its irregular, dark spots and wavy lines, add to the authenticity of the artwork. The "Wild Life series" by Humphrey Milford and Eileen Hood was an important contribution to the world of children's literature and education. These beautiful, hand-painted postcards not only provided young readers with a visual introduction to the natural world but also instilled a deep appreciation for the beauty and diversity of the animal kingdom. This eland print, with its stunning artwork and captivating subject matter, is a testament to the enduring appeal of this classic series.
