EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and haunting print captures a tragic scene from the late 19th century in the Arctic Circle. In this illustration, we witness the aftermath of a polar bear hunt, where two cubs valiantly defend their mother's lifeless body against the backdrop of an unforgiving frozen landscape. Published in Barcelona around 1880 by El Mundo Ilustrado, this image serves as a stark reminder of humanity's impact on wildlife during that era. The fur trade was at its peak, and hunters relentlessly pursued these majestic creatures for their valuable pelts. The image evokes mixed emotions - awe at the beauty and resilience of these magnificent animals, but also sorrow for their untimely demise. It reminds us of the delicate balance between human progress and nature conservation. As we reflect on this historical moment captured by Ken Welsh, it is crucial to acknowledge how far we have come in our understanding and appreciation for wildlife preservation. Today, efforts are being made worldwide to protect endangered species like polar bears from further harm. Let this photograph serve as a poignant reminder that our actions have consequences; let it inspire us to continue working towards a future where such scenes are confined only to history books rather than present reality.
