Self-Preservation,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating image from the annals of history, presents a satirical commentary on society and the human obsession with preservation and class distinctions. This thought-provoking print, created in 1841 and available through Mary Evans Picture Library, depicts a diverse array of fashionably dressed animals making their way to the Ark. The satirical undertones of this historical artwork are evident as each animal, adorned in human attire, is bent on preserving its own species. The image pokes fun at the human tendency to prioritize self-preservation and the preservation of their own kind over the greater good. The animals, with their exaggerated human features and fashionable attire, serve as a commentary on the class distinctions and social hierarchies that pervade human society. The animals' determination to board the Ark, despite the chaos and disorder surrounding them, reflects the human desire to secure a place of safety and security for themselves, often at the expense of others. The print also serves as a reminder of the historical context in which it was created. The 1800s were a time of great political and social upheaval, with the Industrial Revolution bringing about significant changes to society and the natural world. The image of animals boarding the Ark in this satirical context can be seen as a commentary on the impact of human progress on the natural world and the need for conservation. Overall, "Self-Preservation" is a fascinating and thought-provoking image that offers a unique perspective on the human condition and the natural world. Its satirical commentary on society and the obsession with preservation and class distinctions continues to resonate with audiences today.
