EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - a point of mammoth tusk intricately carved with reindeer. Dating back to 1926, this artifact was discovered in Montastruc, Bruniquel, France. The image is taken from the third edition of "A Guide to Antiquities of the Stone Age" published by the British Museum and Oxford University Press. The craftsmanship displayed on this prehistoric object is truly awe-inspiring. Delicate lines etched onto the ivory surface depict graceful reindeer, capturing their elegance and movement with great precision. This artwork offers us a glimpse into the artistic abilities and cultural practices of our ancestors during the Stone Age. As we admire this monochrome photograph, we are transported back in time to an era when mammoths roamed the earth alongside early humans. It serves as a tangible connection between our present-day existence and our ancient past. The significance of this archaeological find cannot be overstated. It sheds light on both human creativity and survival strategies during that period. This print reminds us that art has always been an integral part of human expression throughout history, transcending time and place. Credit must be given to Unknown (creator) for preserving this invaluable piece through photography so that future generations can appreciate its beauty and historical importance.
