EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Witnesses to Prehistory" takes us back in time to a moment of astonishing discovery. In this image, we are transported to the Jamaln Peninsula, located 2400 km north of Leningrad, where two mammoths have been unearthed by seal hunters. Preserved for over five thousand years within the icy embrace of polar ice, these prehistoric creatures offer an invaluable glimpse into our ancient past. The frozen corpses of these majestic beasts were stumbled upon by chance, their perfectly preserved bodies emerging from beneath the snows. The tusks jut out proudly from their massive frames, testaments to a time long gone. This remarkable find not only captivates scientists and historians but also ignites our imagination with wonder and awe. Italian illustrator Achille Beltrame beautifully captures this extraordinary moment through his vivid color lithograph. His attention to detail brings life back into these ancient giants as they stand against a backdrop of snowy landscapes and freezing temperatures. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded of the power that nature holds in preserving fragments of our history. It is through such discoveries that we gain insight into the mysteries surrounding our planet's distant past – a testament to both scientific methods and human curiosity. This print serves as a reminder that even in today's modern world, there is still much left undiscovered about our prehistoric origins and the wonders that lie buried beneath layers of time.
