EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a dramatic scene from prehistoric times, as a European auroch with massive horns is under attack by wolves. The European auroch, also known as Ure (Bos primigenius), was the ancestor of modern domestic cattle and roamed wild in Europe, Asia, and North Africa.
Illustrated in vivid color by Heinrich Harder in 1916 for ""Tiere der Urwelt"" (Animals of Prehistory) with accompanying text by Wilhelm Bolsche, this image brings to life the fierce struggle for survival that these ancient creatures faced. The detail in the illustration is striking, showcasing the power and majesty of the auroch as it defends itself against its predators.
The intensity of the moment is palpable as the wolves close in on their prey, highlighting the harsh realities of nature's food chain. This artwork serves as a reminder of the untamed world that existed long before humans began to domesticate animals for their own use.
Published originally by Reichardt Cocoa company in 1908 as part of a series of maps, this image has been preserved through time to offer us a glimpse into an era when these magnificent beasts ruled the land. It stands as both a tribute to these extinct creatures and an homage to the talented artists who brought them back to life through their work.
