EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the ancient rock painting titled "Cows" by Prehistoric, found in Tassili N Ajjer, Sahara desert, southeast Algeria. The composition beautifully captures the essence of bovines - from cows to bulls - depicted on the rocky canvas. Dating back to 1956-57, these remarkable frescoes were discovered and documented by French archaeologist Henri Lhote (1903-91). The peinture rupestre reveals a glimpse into prehistoric times when humans coexisted with these majestic creatures in North Africa. The image transports us to a time long gone as we marvel at the intricate details of each animal portrayed. Their powerful presence is felt against the backdrop of the vast desert landscape. One can almost imagine witnessing herds grazing peacefully under the scorching sun. Photographer Gerard Degeorge has skillfully captured this piece of art that holds immense historical value. Through his lens, he brings attention to not only these magnificent animals but also highlights their significance within African culture. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of our connection with nature and how it has shaped human civilization throughout history. It serves as a reminder that even thousands of years ago, art was used as a means for expression and documentation. This print is an extraordinary testament to both artistic talent and archaeological discovery; it allows us to appreciate the beauty found within our shared past while igniting curiosity about what other wonders lie hidden beneath layers of time in
