EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history, showcasing the intense hunt of Moa birds by men armed with bows and arrows. Taken in 1908, this illustration by Heinrich Harder depicts the desperate pursuit of these flightless birds, which were native to New Zealand but tragically hunted to extinction by the Maoris. The image is part of Wilhelm Bolsches Tiere der Urwelt (Animals of the Prehistoric World), published by Reichardt Cocoa company in Hamburg. Harder, a renowned German landscape artist and book illustrator, skillfully brings this scene to life through his vibrant color printing technique. Moa birds were an integral part of New Zealand's natural heritage until their demise at the hands of human hunters. This visual representation serves as a reminder not only of their existence but also highlights humanity's impact on wildlife populations throughout history. As we gaze upon this historic print, we are transported back to a time when scientific methods were still being developed and our understanding of prehistory was expanding rapidly. The illustration offers us a glimpse into an era long gone – one that was filled with mystery and wonder. Through its meticulous detail and artistic prowess, this image invites us to reflect on our relationship with nature and reminds us of the importance of conservation efforts today. It stands as both a tribute to these magnificent creatures and a call for greater awareness about preserving endangered species for future generations.
